[solved] xmobar crashes with UTF8 from StdinReader

Hey,

while using xmonad with xmobar, xmobar continuously crashes with certain StdinputReader input. So far I believe it is reproduceable with utf8 input.

This issue was meant to be fixed: http://code.google.com/p/xmobar/issues/detail?id=17

Is the version of xmobar in community the version where this issue has been fixed ?

If anyone had the same problem and fixed it somehow (configuration?), please let me know.

Does xmobar-darcs suffer from the same problem?

Cheers,
m.

EDIT: Typo.

See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18867?st … &project=5
XMobar-darcs is fine, I'm using it now.

Thanks, will be switching to the darcs version then.
