Please provide a detailled backtrace of the crash. See [1] for informations on how to do that. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
This error is present in pango-1.24.2 and pango-1.24.3. It is not necessary to browse "more than 2-3 pages", any page that triggers appears to trigger all the time. Examples of a pages that triggers are: http://shaver.off.net/diary/2008/05/25/fsyncers-and-curveballs/ or http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1299897/
Yeah but please give a full backtrace anyway, without any backtrace it could very difficult to find the problem, or to get a verbose stack when the crash happens.
pango bumped into the tree to 1.24.4, this release bugfix fixes a crash. May be the same crash as your ... can you test it ? If the crash is still present, please attach a backtrace.
pango-1.24.4 appears to have resolved the issue, but there was a brief (about a week) period with 1.24.3 when the problem did not occur. I am loath to call this "resolved" until a bit of time has passed and the problem is shown to be gone. I will report back in a few days.
Okay, Feel free to re-open this bug in few days if your problem rehappens. And in this case have a look to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml Thanks
Hey i hope it wasn't wrong to reopen the bug, but i can't understand why pango version 1.24.2 is still in the stable tree. Even if there might be a few bugs open about version 1.24.4/5 at least they do work. But version 1.24.2 is quite unusable!
