Hi, Leif,

Thanks for the reply!  OK on CPU overload being the likely culprit.

Just for documentation, I am running on the machine used for the tests I  
have reported:
3.2 GHz P4
1.5 GB RAM
Debian Sarge
Kernel 2.6.13
Xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14_i386
ati x driver
PCI Express ATI RV370 (Radeon X300 PCI) videl card
Gnome

I did a test this am and found that as long as I don't move the mouse,  
Linrad runs fine.  I ran Linrad for one hour and 43 minutes with a signal  
selected and everything remained fine.  At one hour and 43 minutes I moved  
the mouse across the screen and within 5 seconds Linrad crashed with the  
error message:

debian:/home/linrad/linrad-new/linrad-02-X11.05# ./xlinrad
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such  
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  0 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  438343
  Current serial number in output stream:  438354

THe first two lines of the X Error message are exactly what I see most of  
the time;  the serial numbers change each time.

This page on debugging X Window errors may help in figuring out how to  
track down what is going on with the X errors:

I will keep trying.  I have pulled it about 50 times and it won't move.  I  
was able to move all of the other windows, and the polarization angle  
control moved OK as well.

I will go back and make the changes to parameters that you suggest, Leif.   
I just used the default parameters to start.  Some change in how things  
are done may be needed given that the CPU overload is occurring with a 3.2  
GHz P4 with 1.5 GHz of memory ;)

73,
