Hi Keith,
We've been having some trouble due to alloca(BIG) in the Xquartz server. Could you comment on the acceptability of something like Greg suggests below? Should we put it inside __APPLE__ ifdefs, or do you think it would be good across the board? Or do you have a better solution we should think about?
Master has removed alloca for the X server -- it's insecure, and prone to failure. Just use malloc. -- keith.packard@intel.com
