System: NetBSD cc1024241-c.union1.nj.home.com 1.4M NetBSD 1.4M (SCREWBALL) #0: Sat Nov 27 11:56:41 EST 1999 root@:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SCREWBALL i386


>Description:
	exmh hangs (sometimes hanging the X server), and/or displays bug reports
>How-To-Repeat:
	Changing options in exmh, and in particular clicking 'save', does
	bad things.  The version of exmh in use is 2.0.2; 2.1.1 is the current
	version.  2.1.1 also has much better pgp support.
>Fix:
	Here's the automated reply I got in response to the automated bug

	Most bugs identified by this filter have already been fixed.
	You are encouraged to update to the latest release.
	For the latest version of exmh, please see
	http://www.beedub.com/exmh/
	This bug is due to a change in the tclIndex file for exmh under 8.0.3
	You can fix it by creating an "old-style" index with
	auto_mkindex_old $exmh(library) *.tcl
	(I.e., run tcl 8.0.3 or higher, and use the auto_mkindex_old command)

	Alternatively you can delete the "auto_load tkFocusOK" command
	from html_dpackage.tcl
