The 'zombied' message from jack and the 'midi write error' from
brighton indicate that bristol, the engine, has ungracefully exit,
most typically a segfault. Depending on your shell and write
permissions on the 'bin' directory you may be able to do the following:
nowhiskey@murija2:~/software/nove/bristol/bristol-0.9.5/bin$ limit
coredumpsize unlimited
as root, or as a user:
bash: limit: command not found
nowhiskey@murija2:~/software/nove/bristol/bristol-0.9.5/bin$
./startBristol -rhodes -jack
Now do whatever until the error occurs and if you now close the synth
window from the title bar you will get a core dump IF you have write
permissions in the current directory. If you do not want to have write
permissions on the bristol/bin directory then try the following:
nowhiskey@murija2:~/software/nove/bristol/bristol-0.9.5/bin$ cd /tmp
nowhiskey@murija2:/tmp$
~/software/nove/bristol/bristol-0.9.5/startBristol -rhodes -jack
not sure if this is right:
nowhiskey@murija2:/tmp$

cheers,
doc
The coredump as an enclosure, or the stack backtrace from GDB will
help to track down the cause of the problem.
Regards,
Nick.
