Freeciv with the GTK2 client (not sure about others) will have a segmentation fault if trying to cleanly disconnect from a server while the Cities Report window is open and cities exist for the civ. Other Report windows result in a clean disconnect, dropping client to startup windows. Relevant versions: freeciv-1.14.0-r1 gtk+-2.2.2-r1 (not sure if this is specific to this package combo or not) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect the client to a server (either local or remote) 2. Build a city if necessary, open the Cities Report window (F1) 3. Attempt to disconnect via Game -> Disconnect Actual Results: Console output below: Segmentation fault ** (civclient:21528): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_test() [bash prompt] Expected Results: Disconnect cleanly, drop to starup windows
I can reproduce this. Brian - have you reported this bug upstream to http://www.freeciv.org/? Seems like a pretty easy bug to fix if you're familiar with the freeciv source. I, however, am not. Probably by the time I get time to track this bug down properly it will be fixed in a newer release of freeciv.
This bug has been fixed in the freeciv CVS source. I've added the latest snapshot from today to portage CVS, marked ~x86. It seems to be very stable and playable. This bug in particular is fixed as far as I can tell.
