Comment 3 Guilherme de Siqueira Pastore 2005-11-18 01:25:56 UTC 
Fixed in CVS HEAD. Thanks a lot for your report and patch! However, it seems to
me this would only happen on somewhat broken installations, I suggest you take a
look at yours =)
Comment 4 Joe Marcus Clarke 2005-11-18 03:50:03 UTC 
I disagree.  How does a normal from-source installation create ~/.atomix for
each user?  Basically, if I start atomix for the first time on a new account, I
will have no ~/.atomix directory, and this crash will be triggered.  The only
proper fix is to free and close resources that we know to have been properly opened.
Comment 5 Guilherme de Siqueira Pastore 2005-11-18 12:48:14 UTC 
For some mysterious reason, I've never had ~/.atomix on my machine, and it
simply works. Anyway, forget it, I've considered it a bug and fixed it anyway =)
