I initially opened a mutt bug, but discovered today that my bug is
actually caused by the libaoss.so which I preload. I then found this
bug report.
I have a small test case which demonstrates the bug.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
char folder[30] = "test";
FILE *fp = fopen (folder, "r");
fp = freopen (folder, "r+", fp);
ftell (fp);
return 0;
}
When run with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libaoss.so the preceeding program
segfaults every time. I derived the program above directly from a
process of commenting code from mutt and tidying up the piece that
remained that showed the error.
When LD_PRELOAD is not set, the code above does not segfault.
My system is a typical Debian Testing setup, with Version: 1.0.12-1 of
the alsa-oss package.
I use LD_PRELOAD because I work in Linux, but run Windows under
VMware. I listen to podcasts with a Linux mp3 player, and without the
libaoss.so the sound card will not mix sounds. If my boss tries to IM
me on the Windows side, I don't hear the sound notification because
the Linux mp3 player has locked the sound device.
I will be installing some Alsa source code to track down this problem.
