[Chimera-users] segmentation fault

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Tim,

   If Chimera starts use Chimera menu Help / Report a Bug....  This will 
give us info about your operating system, graphics and Chimera version.  
Chimera crashes are usually due to having a buggy graphics driver 
installed on your computer.  Updating, or installing a graphics driver 
is usually the solution.

     Tom
