Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.13-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #365683
Hi Ryan,
I can experience the same behavour as described above.
I tracked it down to certain circumstances:
When I pressed "?" for help in the mailboxes view my mutt reproducible
crashed. This did not happen to other users on my box.
Finally, the configuration lines
set xterm_title="Mutt: %f %r [%?M?%M/?%m%?n? N:%n?%?o? O:%o?%?d? D:%d?%?F?
F:%F?%?t? T:%t?%?p? P:%p?%?b? I:%b?%?l? %l?]-(%s/%S)-(%P)-"
# look here:
this one is never closed: ^
set xterm_set_titles
caused segfaults.
Changing the first one to
set xterm_title="Mutt: %f %r [%?M?%M/?%m%?n? N:%n?%?o? O:%o?%?d? D:%d?%?F?
F:%F?%?t? T:%t?%?p? P:%p?%?b? I:%b?%?l?]-(%s/%S)-(%P)-"
solved the behaviour.
The bad version of $xterm_title has an unbalanced conditional display.
Actually, I derived my version from line 8628 of
/usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz!
I would expect a warning when the configuration files are parsed and
mutt disabling (making it empty) the badly defined variable completely.
Thanks for reading (and understanding) my report.
Ryan, could you
- post your format-strings from your mutt configuration?
- try to reproduce the behavour with an "empty" mutt configuration (but
with set xterm_set_titles and running in X?
This way we could verivy that we're indeed victims of the same bug.
regards
Olaf
