could you give us a bit more of explanation.
Does it crash upon startup or while using it ?
You could also edit the file :
/usr/local/thot/bin/thot

replacing the last line

${THOTBIN}/thotmain $* &

by

strace -o /tmp/thot.strace ${THOTBIN}/thotmain $* &

this way we can collect a trace of all the operating system call
made by thot before the crash (stored in file /tmp/thot.strace).
Once collected could you upload the result onto hatutu.imag.fr
FTP server in the incoming directory, please ?

thanks in advance for your help,

Daniel
