once emerged xfig it crashes on execution in two circumstancies: if I click on T button to insert text, or by clicking on the button "insert picture". In both cases it gives: ******************************************* Warning: Actions not found: StartScroll xfig3.2.4: SIGSEGV signal trapped xfig: figure empty or not modified - exiting Aborted ******************************************* this bug happens to all 3.2.4 in the portage and to 3.2.5-alpha too, but only in a x86_64 environment (I'm happily working with xfig compiled in a chroot32 environment now). It not applies to previous versions which are not in portage anymore. this is my emerge --info: Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-nvidia-r7 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-nvidia-r7 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre15 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/sync/tmp/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/sync/tmp/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/sync/tmp" PORTDIR="/sync/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 aac aalib acl acpi apache2 apm arts audiofile avi bash-completion bcmath berkdb bindist bitmap-fonts blas bmp bonobo bzip2 caps cdparanoia cdr clibpdf crypt cscope ctype cups curl dbx diet dillo dio directfb divx4linux doc dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss emul-linux-86 encode esd examples exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg fftw flac flash foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm ggi gif ginac glut gmp gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal hardened hardenedphp hyperwave-api iconv idn ieee1394 imagemagick imlib inifile innodb ipv6 jabber java javascript jikes jpeg junit ladcca lcms ldap libcaca libwww lm_sensors lzw lzw-tiff m17n-lib mad mhash mikmod mime ming mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpi mplayer msession mysql mysqli nas ncurses nls nptl odbc ofx ogg openal openal-opengl opengl osc oss pam pcmcia pcntl pcre pdflib perl php plotutils png portaudio ppds prelude profile python qdbm qt quicktime radius readline recode ruby samba sapdb scanner sdl sharedext shorten simplexml slang slp sndfile speex spell spl sqlite ssl svg szip tcltk tcp tcpd test tetex theora threads tidy tiff tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales vcd videos vorbis wddx wifi wmf xine xinerama xml xml2 xmlrpc xmms xosd xpm xsl xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY

i can't reproduce it here can you please do the following: add nostrip to FEATURES in make.conf add -ggdb3 to CFLAGS in make.conf re-merge xfig emerge -n gdb run 'gdb xfig' type run at the (gdb) prompt try to reproduce the crash [after it crashed] type 'bt' copy-paste the output of bt here TIA
