Re: [Gnome-print] Demos crash on Solaris

[Jeff Gaskill <Jeff Gaskill usa alcatel com>]

I wish I could oblige.  The current version we built either does not
produce a core file or it is putting it in an unknown location.  
I am having the application recompiled to ensure we had debug symbols
enabled and will attempt the testing again.

For now, I have attached an example of the output we get from the
testprint4 run when we attempt a preview.

As for libxml, do you recommend we recompile with the earlier version
of this library?

Thanks
Jeff
