[Rd] R Segfault reported in Fedora 17

2012-09-17 Thread Tom Callaway
Full details, including all sorts of logs here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857655

A very quick look doesn't show anything obvious, in fact, it might be a
readline bug, but readline is remarkably stable and boring these days.

Very hard to find this sort of bug without reproducibility instructions.

But the bug report says that it is a SIGABRT, not SIGSEGV. That's a different 
kettle of fish isn't it?

I agree, especially if the bug is in readline somewhere.

Yep. It sure is. Just wanted to put in on your radar in case it ends up
being helpful. I don't have any real plans to try to dig deeper into it,
since this is the first such report (and Fedora has automated mechanisms
for reporting crashed apps).
