[polyml] Motif in Poly/ML: sometimes works, sometimes not

Piotr, I don't know why it would only work sometimes. Whenever I've tested it it has worked. However, the X-Windows/Motif code is very old and isn't really maintained.

Thanks for your reply. So far I have two workarounds: 1) use lesstif2-0.95.2-1 instead of openmotif, 2) force poly to run on a single CPU core with 'taskset -c 0 poly' (my machine has 4 cores).

Running poly with '--gcthreads 1' option does not help.

Dear Poly/ML experts,

I copy-pasted Motif code from "Poly/ML for Motif: Quick Reference Manual", sections 1.3 and 1.4. When I start poly session and load this code with "use" I sometimes get a Motif window but sometimes do not.

I am running polyml 5.5.2 on x86_64 Ubuntu, compiled with "--with-x --enable-shared" against Open Motif 2.3.4.

Am I missing something?
