It would be useful if Survex could be made to register dates earlier than 1970. At least as far back as 1940 would be good for me.

Opening a 3d file results in the following:-

The program 'aven' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.

Failure seems to leave the following message in Xorg.0.log:

[273047.328] (EE) RADEON(0): [DRI2] DRI2SwapBuffers: drawable has no back or front?

Windows version of Aven 1.2.1 flags "Assertion Failed! ... file gfxcore.cc line 2233 Expression z<=z_ext" on certain .3d files. Pressing "Ignore" button, aven continue and produces a result but I haven't checked if it's correct! "Abort" goes to "Bug in program detected. Please report this to the authors".

On Ubuntu, the same 3d file also fails. There is no assertion failiure dialog box and it goes straight to the "Bug in program..." dialog.

Graham Mullan referred to the Asertion Failure on the Survex list but doesn't seem to have raised a ticket. I have not seen the problem on any of my "real" survey files but found it with the file cave.3d buried in the Therion samples/survex directory. I have reduced this to a single simple file, attached, which reproduces the problem. It's hard to say how serious this is.
