gaim debugging when trying to log onto an ICQ account
Created attachment 89360 [details]
debug output of crash when trying to chat with an AIM user
As before, gaim fails as follows:
$ gaim > gaim_debug2
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x083b4700 ***
dns[16850]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...!
Aborted
If I set MALLOC_CHECK_=0 in the env, the "invalid pointer" error goes away, and I get: oscar: Claiming to have a buddy icon oscar: Sending IM, charset=0x0000, charsubset=0x0000, length=27 Hi, user. We need to talk. I think something's gone wrong here. It's probably my fault. No, really, it's not you... it's me... no no no, I think we get along well it's just that.... well, I want to see other people. I... what?!? NO! I haven't been cheating on you!! How many times do you want me to tell you?! And for the last time, it's just a rash! dns[29110]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...! Aborted [sic] Here's a backtrace:

There is at least one bug upstream regarding the invalid pointer. I am monitoring them, going to close as upstream. (In reply to comment #5) > There is at least one bug upstream regarding the invalid pointer. I am > monitoring them, going to close as upstream. Can you provide a link to the upstream bug(s)? I could find only 1434547, which is about MSN which I'm not using but still I experience this problem here. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1434547&group_id=235&atid=100235 Possibly related to bug 130728. But there a compiler switch lies at the heart of the issue, which I would deem a rather gentooish kind of problem and not upstream at all. I'm not yet sure if they are the same, and if so, what is the real reason of this problem. I traced my issue to the AIM/ICQ plugin, disabling that prevented the crash. Upgrading to the Gaim 2.0.0 beta 3 solved the problem as well. Now I got the same bug on my stable x86 system. Maybe it's some package update that hit stable the last few weeks. Unfortunately I know neither when I last started Gaim successfully, nor what packages were updated since. I know cups and gnutls were among those updates, and caused some rev deps to break. But according to revdep-rebuild, my system is clean now (except for bug 125728), and remerging gaim does not help either. And Gaim 2 is still to buggy to use on stable x86. |
