After upgrading from 1.0rc to 1.0rc2 on FreeBSD-
CURRENT, trying to start fluxbox results in a
coredump.
The backtrace is attached and also viewable at
http://www.scottro.net/fluxrc2bt.txt
This problem does not occur on FreeBSD-STABLE.
At least one other person had the problem, mentioned
on FreeBSD forums, however at time of writing,
bsdforums is temporarily down.
Thank you for any assistance with this.

My gosh, that was quick. Yes, the patch fixed the problem
and the FreeBSD fluxbox port maintainer has been notified.
Thank you very much.
