Description Christopher Cimiluca 2005-06-22 01:06:34 UTC
Kword crashes without creating a window.  If I run it from a terminal the   
words "Alarm clock" are printed before I get the prompt back. I have deleted 
kwordrc without effect 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kword 
2. run kword 
3.  
  
Actual Results:  
user@host>~/$kword 
Alarm clock 
 

Expected Results:  
Produced a window for me to type in  

kspread and kexi work fine.  I don't believe that I have any old libraries  
laying around.  My previous kword (previously unmerged) was installed without 
the rest of koffice.

Comment 2 Thomas Stein 2005-06-23 01:34:48 UTC
uh, problem solved. strace gave me:  
  
read(15, "# Generated with Aspell Dicts \"p"..., 4096) = 113  
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---  
rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {SIG_DFL}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0  
alarm(3)                                = 0  
  
So i emerged aspell-0.60.2. The error occurred with aspell-0.50.5-r4.  
  
best regards

Comment 3 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-23 06:37:45 UTC
Does the same holds for you, Christopher? 
 
It would be nice to see if there's a particular file in /usr/share/aspell/ 
that causes the crash. 
 
Comment 4 Christopher Cimiluca 2005-06-23 20:11:45 UTC
I had the exact same problem with the exact same version of ASPELL and   
upgrading solved it. I unmerged kword last night so I'm afraid I can't help you  
track doen the offending aspell file.  
  
Thanks for your help.     
  
I am marking this fixed.  If I am premature, please unmark it.
