Is this from a clean build? I can't reproduce it. If a clean build doesn't fix 
it, can you try running wmii from valgrind?

Thanks.

Yes, it still occurs with a completely clean build.  Attached is valgrind 
output.

It doesn't seem to indicate a segfault. Or any other memory errors. Did it 
crash in that instance?

Also, leak-check=full adds a lot of noise without providing any useful 
information. It's possible that I've missed something.

Argh, sorry.  I did a clean builds & installs again, testing one commit at a 
time, and found that it was the bar file changes causing problems in my wmiirc:

http://hg.suckless.org/wmii/rev/9d31d13386b8

I'll do completely clean builds & installs from here onwards.

I think you'll find that running 'make depend' every so often prevents most of 
the same problems fixed by clean installs. I guess since that's not part of the 
GNU toolchain, only BSD people do it, though.

Also, writing revision 9d31d13386b8 suffices to link a revision. It doesn't 
make a difference to me, but it is a bit easier to type.

Oh, and I notice that the Google people finally decided to make their diff 
display colourblind friendly... Nice to know.
