I waited for upstream for a while, then could not spend any time on this for a bit. My apologies for the delay. I did finally find the problem: one of the GNOME libraries also has a function called 'crc32' that it calls; unfortunately, this name was used in the qprof LD_PRELOAD library, and GNOME called the wrong function, which would in turn segfault when it got bogus parameter values. I changed the name of the function in qprof to 'qprof_crc32' to avoid this in the future. I can now profile gedit just fine. The next upload will have this fix in it. Thank you for your patience, and again, my apologies for it taking so long to get this fixed. -- Ciao, al ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Al Stone Alter Ego: Open Source and Linux R&D Debian Developer Hewlett-Packard Company http://www.debian.org E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
