I purchased SWiM Motif 2.0 some time ago. Since I upgraded to ELF I get lots
of segmentation violations with some programs I compile and tun, mostly book
examples etc. It seems to vary with which kernel version I use. The 1.2.13
kernel never works, while the 1.3.7x kernels seem to work some of the time.
I have sent email to lasermoon and they ignore me. Which is certainly nice,
since they (or ACC Bookstore) have $200US of my money. Am I alone with these
problems or are there others like me out there? Is this a SWiM or
Linux problem.

I had exactly this problem, both with seg faults, and
a lack of response from Lasermoon. The problem is with
your libc, or at least with the interaction of SWiM and
libc. They have new libc's available on their ftp site
that will fix the problem. They don't modify Motif, but
modify libc instead. That's their philosophy.

If you call them on the phone you can get some help ($$).

Try ftp.lasermoon.co.uk. I blasted them on the net
once, but after talking to them, they fixed my problems.
You may never get a response via email.
