Bug 207102 – sci-astronomy/ds9-5.1 gives a segmentation fault when compiled with gcc-4.2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Henry Gebhardt 2008-01-23 00:10:17 UTC]

When running ds9 from the command line it immediately segfaults. Upstream knows this, and will attach a simple patch shortly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sci-astronomy/ds9-5.1
2. run ds9 from the command line (under X, of course).

Following what upstream says to do.

Hi,

Thanks much for your patch and x86 indeed has a bad
stack smashing issue. I've added your patch to portage
and ds9 seems to be happy now.

Best,
Markus

Thanks, it works!
