On Digital/UNIX, the crashes are random and there is no obvious
pattern.

On Solaris 2, two different users reported crashes in different
situations. The first one was connected to the use of the tool
tkpostage (with some home-made modifications): when tkpostage queried
the mail server frequently (1/min), fvwm crashed randomly after some
time. Without tkpostage, nor more crashes... The user will use again
tkpostage to get a core dump, it may give a clue...

The other one is connected to the use of Netscape and FrameMaker,
here are some mails extracts:

Hope this helps...
