RE: GWorkspace problem

[Guevara, Kristine F]

I encountered some problems with GWorkspace giving illegal instruction
errors
and core dumping when running the application on my Solaris 2.6.  I ran a
debug on GWorkspace and the following was the result.
appreciate any help on resolving these GWorkspace issues.

It could be a similar problem. Can you debug the program and provide a 
backtrace?

debugapp GWorkspace.app
