Symptoms ======== Evolution and gedit crash when you do anything related to spell checking. To triger in gedit go to menu: Tools: Set Language, then gedit crashes with the following output in the terminal: *** glibc detected *** gedit: double free or corruption (out): 0x0827ec10 *** =======

PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Other Notes =========== I've tried re-emerging gcc, glib, gtk, aspell, enchant, gnome-spell, gedit, evolution and several other things, but to nothings helped. I think it started when I upgraded to gnome 2.16. Also GnomeSword has a little 'StudyPad' thing that looks like Evolution's mail composer, and spelling works in there.
I had a bug that looked similar. When running evolution or tomboy note taking tool, some accentuated caracters were locking the app while typing. I had to get rid of some old gtkhtml lib that was left on the system. Maybe that'll help.
I have gtkhtml-3.12.0 (it's the newest that's in portage). The bug's only triggered by spelling stuff, so as long as I keep auto spelling off, and make sure I don't have any languages set, I'm ok. Otherwise it dies. I'd be happy to try anthing else to give you more info if you want.
I am unable to reproduce any of this (gedit, evolution, etc), with the reproduction information given here in any of the cases. Maybe more precise reproduction steps would be useful. What language, what steps starting from launching the thing, etc... PS: gedit is now at 2.16.2 but there are no relevant changes in code as far I can see.
I reported the bug on the Gnome bugzilla as well. They blamed it on linking which is all voodoo to me. It doesn't matter which language, any use of the spell checker from these two applications kills it. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364042 I haven't been able to repeat it on my brother's amd64 machine.
Can you still reproduce it? If so, what versions of gedit and aspell do you have installed?
Yeah, I just checked gedit and it crashed. gedit is at version 2.16.2, `aspell -v` ouputs "@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.5)"
Can't reproduce it. Opening gedit, hacking some text in, pressing Tools -> Setlanguage and selecting a language works like charme. $ aspell -v; gedit --version @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.4) GNOME gedit 2.18.1
Alan, your trace could suggest that the bug is at the aspell level, would you mind updating it to 0.60 ?
Oh, I should have updated my status with this. My HD died a while back and I reinstalled everything and I haven't noticed this bug since. Unless other people have trouble with it you might be best off marking it as invalid or something.
Alright, thanks for the update. Closing then
