<http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=86626> I have two machines, both running debian sarge and kernel 2.6.8, and the following openoffice.org packages: openoffice.org 1.1.3-9 openoffice.org-bin 1.1.3-9 openoffice.org-debian-files 1.1.3-8+1 openoffice.org-help-en 1.1+20040420-3 openoffice.org-hyphenation-en 20030813-3 openoffice.org-l10n-en 1.1.3-9 One of them works fine; the other crashes every time. Here is the result of the crash: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sh: line 1: crash_report: command not found Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x395d)! Fatal exception: Signal 11 Stack: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libsal.so.3[0x40bad3ec] /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libsal.so.3[0x40bad579] /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libsal.so.3[0x40bad644] [0xffffe420] /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libsal.so.3[0x40ba275f] /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0[0x410ffb63] /lib/tls/libc.so.6(__clone+0x5a)[0x4138dc4a] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- All I do to trigger the problem is bring up a blank spreadsheet in oocalc and enter numbers into a few cells. The crash occurs after the third or fourth number. Here are some details about my testing environment: 1. I am using both of these machines (let's call them Working and Broken) remotely from a third machine. 2. I log into them via "ssh -X". 3. I deleted .sversionrc and .openoffice on both so as to start clean. Since Working was installed with sarge from scratch and Broken started out as potato, was upgraded to woody, and now is sarge, it was not quite identical to the Working machine so I gradually tweaked it until everything that I could imagine was relevant was identical. I verified this state of identicalness as follows: 1. On both machines, I ran oocalc under strace like this: "OOO_DEBUG="strace -ostrace.out" oocalc 2. I extracted all of the shared library and font file names from the strace.out files and checked that both executions used the same files. (exception: Working has gnome installed so it pulled in a few more things. I am assuming that the absence of gnome is not the cause of the problem.) 3. I did md5sums of all of the referenced shared library and font files on the two systems and verified that all were identical. I think I have ruled out any differences in the software environment as causes of the problem. Working, however is a 2.4 GHz machine while Broken is only a 500 Mhz machine. Since the problem is exhibited as an async error and since the crash occurs in a call from libpthread to libc, I am beginning to suspect a race condition in openoffice. If there is anything else I can do to help track this down, let me know. I may be in a unique situation here with one working machine and one broken one running the same software. -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
