Hi John, I have a strange crash in slang which i'm trying to debug and maybe you can help.
Basically, its: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557960 Its triggered by a python-newt module, but the error is in slang, I think. Within screen, run the python fragment and it crashes, with a free() error. With an unstripped copy of slang, running under gdb python, I get: #3 0xb7c759d5 in __libc_message (do_abort=2, fmt=0xb7d4aa90 "*** glibc detected *** %s: %s: 0x%s ***\n") at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/libc_fatal.c:189 #4 0xb7c7fac1 in malloc_printerr (action=<optimized out>, str=0x6 <Address 0x6 out of bounds>, ptr=0x8359185) at malloc.c:6283 #5 0xb7c80d3e in munmap_chunk (p=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:3540 #6 0xb76652ef in SLfree (p=0x8359185 "DO\t\033[%dB") at /home/amckinstry/slang/slang2-2.2.4/src/slcommon.c:187 #7 0xb75ef769 in _pSLtt_tifreeent (t=0x82e6178) at /home/amckinstry/slang/slang2-2.2.4/src/sltermin.c:256 #8 0xb75f450b in SLtt_initialize (term=<optimized out>) at /home/amckinstry/slang/slang2-2.2.4/src/sldisply.c:2548 #9 0xb75f4fe2 in SLtt_get_terminfo () at /home/amckinstry/slang/slang2-2.2.4/src/sldisply.c:2476 It appears screen is not needed; just TERM=screen will trigger it, TERM=xterm will not. sltermin.c:256 is freeing t->string_table for the terminfo, which to my untutored eyes looks valid in both cases. Have you any ideas as to whats going on? regards Alastair -- Alastair McKinstry , <alast...@sceal.ie> , <mckins...@debian.org> http://blog.sceal.ie Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist - Kenneth Boulter, Economist. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
