xchatosd only works correctly with xosd-2.2.8-r1 (and likely earlier versions). Using xosd 2.2.12 consistently crashes xchat on startup. I'm using xchat 2.4.1 and xchatosd 5.17, but I also saw this with xchatosd 5.12. Downgrading xosd to 2.2.8-r1 solves the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install xchat 2.4.1 2.Install xosd 2.2.12 3.Install xchatosd 5.17 4.Run xchat-2 and make sure osd is on 5.Wait for the segmentation fault when something should be written on screen Actual Results: Segmentation fault. Not included due to lack of debug information. Expected Results: Display information using the xosd library on screen.
net-irc/xchatosd-5.17-r1 with a patch in CVS.
Confirmed! That fixes the problems for me. Thanks.
