Hmmm. I can't get it to crash. Worse, I can't even get the xorg7 to crash...
Let's try a very specific approach:
suma -i ld4 -drive_com '-com surf_cont -view_surf_cont y'
then try to set the threshold. Does that cause the crash?
If there is a crash, try this (redirection of stdout and stderr in csh syntax):
suma -trace -i ld4 -drive_com '-com surf_cont -view_surf_cont y' >& crash.junk
and then send me the log by email
If there is no crash, we'll have to get more creative.
