Problem Note 44748: In UNIX environments, changing fonts may result in segmentation violation errors when exiting an interactive SAS® session
If you launch an interactive SAS 9.3®
session in a UNIX environment and
you use the -DMSEXP option (the default) or the -EXPLORER option,
and you then use the pull-down menus to change fonts during the session, you may receive a segmentation violation error when exiting the session.
Note that the SAS session ends normally if you make no modifications
to the font settings, or if you launch a SAS session using the -DMS option and
you never open the SAS Explorer window.
