Parcellite-1.1.7 segfaults on startup; no other error messages than this in kernel logs:

Oct 20 13:53:41 wintermute kernel: parcellite[3250]: segfault at 0 ip 000000000040e671 sp 00007fff34409560 error 4 in parcellite[400000+16000]

1.1.6 works as expected.

Please generate a proper gdb backtrace.

I was experiencing the same segfaults running 1.1.7 (32 bit x86) and the r491 patch listed above does in fact fix it for me.

been running 1.1.7 for some time now, no seg fault issues at all..

[Comment 6 Jouni Rinne 2014-04-19 12:08:35 UTC]

Something in the old (i.e. 1.1.6 version) config files was causing the segfault. I needed to track down every reference to parcellite in the dotfiles and -directories and remove them. Clean install of 1.1.7 works now, you can set this bug as resolved.
