[Freeciv] Re: Will recompile with Xaw3d fix Xaw civclient stability issues?

[sunqist <yorick@xxxxxxx>]

The problem seems to be with the PCITY variable in citydlg.c     I posted a
gdb backtrace earlier with details on the problem.  Basically anything that
calls the city dialog popup window causes a segfault.  Would there be anyway
that I could get my hands on the 1.5.4 source so I can see if the problem is
version specific?

Thanks,
