System: NetBSD cowboy-burt 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (COWBOY-BURT) #1: Sat Oct 2 21:08:08 EDT 1999 dan@cowboy-burt:/amd/dinah-moe/export/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/COWBOY-BURT sparc


>Description:

Xsun dumps core.

	
>How-To-Repeat:

run the program 'scilab' (available as math/scilab in the packages collection).
At the scilab prompt, enter:

stacksize(2000000); t=linspace(0,10,400000); plot(t,sin(t));

Xsun will crash.  This only happens when plotting with a lot of points (400,000
in this case).  For example,
t=linspace(0,10,40000); plot(t,sin(t));
which only does 40,000 points does not crash.

It doesn't matter if scilab is running locally or not.  For example, if I run scilab
on a remote machine with the display set back to my NetBSD-1.4.1/sparc, it still crashes
Xsun.  Also, I've tried this on a NetBSD-1.4.1/mac68k machine (display set to the mac)
and Xmac68k does _not_ crash.
