I have tried to reproduce this, but can't. Am using Xfractint 20.02.4, XFree86 4.2.0. My Xfractint window is 640x480.
I'm using Xfractint 20.02.3 (from my distro's packager (Slackware)) And 20.02.4 (fo) which I built myself (2.95.3) (libc6 2.2.5) in the default 640x480 window.
After about 10 max-zoom-ins, I had to increase the max. iterations to 250 just to get some detail. As I'm writing this , I'm working on zoom-in #16. Arbitrary precision is up to 23 decimals, magnification is 2.18356346e+19.
I'll save the .par file, in case any one would like to compare the values, but I did start out with the default mandelbrot fractal
Here are some examples (progressive zoom): http://inconnu.isu.edu/~skunky/fract002.gif http://inconnu.isu.edu/~skunky/fract003.gif http://inconnu.isu.edu/~skunky/fract004.gif And speaking of increasing max. iterations... There's another bug on my 20.02.4 (fo) version with get_toggles() or something under that... Here's what I did, pendantically... mkdir clean && cd clean unzip /foo/xfract20.2.04.fo.zip make <start ./xfractint under X11> [default mandelbrot appears] <hit 'x'> [first toggles menu] <change number of iterations to any number (100 for example), 'enter'> [screen redraws as black] <'tab'> [tab says that the iteration count is '2' the lowest possible value] <'tab'> [backout to "Press operation key..."] <'x'> [segmentation fault... 0x080ac1a9 in prompt_valuestring (buf=0xbfffefc8 "0", val=0xbffff1b8) at prompts1.c:715 715 strcpy(buf,val->uval.ch.list[val->uval.ch.val]); I havn't tracked down what it is yet.. it doesn't happen with the 20.02.3 version that came with Slackware.
