Indeed, :restart works fine here, wherever ratpoison is installed.
Marking as invalid.

I doubt this is a ratpoison crash. Display managers close your session when your window manager quits. Since restart causes ratpoison to shut down and start a new process, this would cause xdm to go back to the login screen, b/c the original window manager PID is gone. The same happens with gdm.

ratpoison crashs on :restart command if it localy installed in $(HOME) dir

How to reproduce:
1. remove system ratpoison package:
    % whereis ratpoison
    ratpoison:
2. cd to ratpoison source, compile and install by commands:
   
    % ./configure --prefix=${HOME}
    % make ; make install

It will install ratpoison in ~/bin, ~/usr and so on.

3. add ~/bin to $PATH environment variable
4. in .xsession just run ratpoison as window manager:

    % cat .xsession
    #!/bin/sh
    ......
    export PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
    ratpoison
    ......

5. execute ratpoison's restart cmd: C-t : restart

ratpoison will crashs, xdm login screen will appears.
