I did some more search on Sunsolve and found a document
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/docum...=1-1-4520680-1 which
seems to indicate that this behavior has something to do with IPv6
addressing. The document description mentions ConvertAddr function
returning -1 and this is exactly what happens in my case - and just
ConvertAddr returns -1 the mentioned SEGSIGV occurs. However, access to
this document also requires a service contract. Therefore i ask again,
if someone with Sun service contract could help me access these documents?

=?ISO-8859-2?Q?Jaros=B3aw_Rafa?= writes in comp.sys.sun.admin:

Any errors in /var/dt/Xerrors?

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatab...bug_id=4748474

Fixed in the Solaris 9 X patch, which, since it includes security fixes,
is free for all:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/getp...umentId=112786

|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/docum...=1-1-4262197-1

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatab...bug_id=4262197
Fixed in Solaris 8 before release, should still be fixed in Solaris 9.

Nothing interesting. Only "Can not execute dtgreet", which I already
know ;-)

Patch #112786 is for Solaris x86. For SPARC there is patch #112785. I
have newest version of it (112785-52) and still nothing...
