Re: [STUMP] Crash Report

[J. David Smith]

As a temporary stop-gap fix, I wrote a shell script (attached) that continually restarts StumpWM. Unfortunately, when StumpWM dies to an error it still seems to emit code 0, so I can't decide when to end the restarts based on that. Killing the script will kill Stump and stop the loop.

I have to admit, I forgot about this issue. I've updated the issue
tracker with this thread and the latest developments, hopefully we can
figure out a fix, this is clearly affecting more than one user.
