Summary: iemgui empty vertical offset crashes X on Linux

Initial Comment: Steps to crash X windowing system on Linux using Pd:

1. Start X
2. Start Pd
3. Create a new patch
4. Create a new vslider in that patch
5. Open the properties window for that vslider
6. Set the label to x, and delete all text in the y-off field
7. to cause X to crash, click apply

at this point X starts to use 100% CPU and its memory usage shoots up, making the whole machine largely unresponsive and requiring X to be aborted with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace

Doesn't crash here at all, CPU usage stays low. Am I doing something wrong?

Ciao

Don't know - I just tried with a freshly compiled pd-0.40-2 from Miller's site, on the same linux install, and got the same crash, so I've got a feeling it must be something in my tcl/tk and/or X versions that is to blame...

Thanks,

Claude
