Chris, I rebuilt the distribution, but get the same results when trying to set the display to shear:0. Sending to my machine here works ok. I copied over my solaris executable of $GEMEXE/gf (moved the one built on your machine to $GEMEXE/gf.old. All appears to work fine using or copy. You will want to verify this on your own of course. At this point, this result would lead me to beleive there is something in the X server that has either been patched or updated along the way. I will need to look at the library calls used by gf and see if any patches have been issued along the way. I also noticed that your ~ldm/decoders directory still has old versions of the dc executables in there (from last August, so you will probably want to make sure you are running updated version of the decoders).
