Whenever I tried to display the help text, ufed died. It left the terminal in non-echo mode, so I had to reset it again. Debugging the ufed-curses interface, I found the culprit: ufed-curses.c: static void drawscrollbar(void): line 112: mvwaddch(w, 1+(wHeight(Scrollbar)-3)*topy /(items->prev->top+items->prev->height-(wHeight(List)-1)), 0, ACS_BLOCK); for which the debugger gave me these values in my case: /( 50 + 1 -(52 -1)) So the cause of the SIGFPE that gets raised is a division by zero. Haven't tried to understand what this line is supposed to do in general or in my special case. After a couple of tries I always encountered bug 219577 as well, so I had to switch to a text console to allow gpm connections to get processed. Otherwise ufed would not even display its list. truedfx@gentoo.org 2008-04-28 16:40:59 0000 Thanks for the report! I hadn't considered terminal windows large enough to display the whole of the help at once, and the line you've copied here tries to calculate the position of the scroll thumb. Clearly, if everything's displayed already, there's no need to scroll, so I've fixed this in ufed-0.40-r8 by skipping the code in that case.
