Message-ID: <8811171538.AA07215@prism.gatech.edu> Date: 29 Nov 88 16:37:19 GMT Sender: usenet@rice.edu Organization: Rice University, Houston, Texas Lines: 15 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu Original-Date: Thu, 17 Nov 88 10:38:33 EST X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 7, Issue 29, message 9 of 15 It was very interesting to know about the problem of dynamically creating and destroying TTY in Srnivas's recent posting. I also run into that problem but not with TTYs . It is with windows/panels/canvases in general. I have to open up new canvases and then destroy them when done. Now sometimes that causes problems in the from of sys crash !!(Panic: Bad RmFree), or program aborting, etc. It seems that some cleanup is not being done when I destroy the window. So my question is ,will the use of _cleanup(), as Srinivas suggested, work in my case or it is something else. Thanks Deeptendu Majumder mephdbo@prism.gatech.edu meibmdm@gitvm2.bitnet
