Of course. Currently I've found & fixed three bugs / crashes, I'm
hunting for the last one (memory violation when exiting).

If I'm not mistaken, Olivier Landemarre had identified that bug (which was somewhere in Windom).

I think the pb was with LDG (closing of library... when exiting ?).

windom is not (yet) perfect, but if all windom applications crash on mint with MP when exiting, i hope that someone would have informed at least windom authors, or windom ML... or windom bug tracker, which is not the case (or i missed something).
I'm sure have already post a mail on this on MyAES mailing list (as you and Dominique are in this mailing list I think you have probably fix it), as I remember now it's not only when it quit it crash at start when application use the VA_PROTOCOL in fact it crash after have done crash the VA server! The problem is in the type of memory you use for VA protocol it is private and Windom should use unprotected memory. In MyAES you have not this problem because the AES fix it at fly for application receiving VA messages.

I have seen too that Zview crash before quit, this is true now I try to remember I never find why, it is possible that it is when unload ldg, personnaly as I not unload ldg with this function for my application I never see it. I can try to find this bug in some days.

BTW, maybe not so many people use mint with MP enable...
