Description Dean Pierce 2005-01-13 22:51:04 UTC

When I run abiword, it crashes when it sees a space or newline.  Loading files that contain a space or newline will crash it instantly, if I run it without arguments, I can type a few letters, and then it crashes out with the error

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x08758290 ***
Aborted

It is worth noting that my x86 desktop does not have this problem with the same version, and I have recompiled abiword with no effect.  A backtrace does not help much as it just goes as deep as the function that it crashed in (0x08....).



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run abiword
2. type stuff

Actual Results:  
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x08758290 ***
Aborted

Expected Results:  
I should be able to use abiword to type documents etc (it was working until
about a week ago)

are those optimizations valid ?

Comment 2 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev

-fsigned-char should be removed since could break everything.

-mpowerpc-gfxopt adds nothing most cases but is relatively sane.

I can't reproduce this here.  Recompile everything *without* fsigned-char and reopen if you're still having problems.
