Bug 90568 – Xtraceroute segfaults whenever I click on the globe.

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Patrick Lorazo 2005-04-26 20:01:50 UTC]

Xtraceroute crashes with "Segmentation fault" whenever I click on the *globe*; this does not occur if I click elsewhere (space surrounding the globe, for instance).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Xtraceroute by typing "xtraceroute".
2.Click on the globe.
3.

Actual Results:  
Xtraceroute crashes and says "Segmentation fault".

Expected Results:  
I do not know since I have never been able to select the globe without causing a
crash!

Can't reproduce. :-/

I just tried on 4 machines with 2 arches, can't reproduce. If this is still a
problem please reopen and provide full information including strace / other
debugger logs.

[Comment 3 Patrick Lorazo 2005-12-05 06:36:51 UTC]

After removing "xtraceroute" a few days ago, I reinstalled it yesterday. It first worked fine but, after 
rebooting my machine, the problem came back (segmentation fault upon clicking on the globe). I 
looked for some additional information in my logs, but have found nothing. How can I get more debug 
info? Thank you for your help.

Patrick:

Please have a look at this document:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml

If you could please attach a gdb backtrace and strace output it would be really helpful.

We can't do much without a strace/gdb, since we can't reproduce it...
