[GRASS-dev] [bug #4768] (grass) nviz segfault on startup when creating display window

[Michael Barton]

William,

This is great news.

Could you send me the details of how you set this up and configured it
(including your list of configure flags) so that I can duplicate it? I won't
be able to do it until at least Tuesday or maybe Wednesday, so there is no
hurry. But I'd like to try it to see if I can do it too.

Thanks
Michael
