Bug 212938 – app-mobilephone/gammu-1.17.0 crashes with "backup" option

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Cyberjun 2008-03-10 13:29:40 UTC]

I use gammu to make a complete backup of my phone (nokia 8310). I connect to it using the irda port. It always crashes at the "GPRS access points". I have also tested with gammu-1.18.0. The result is the same.


Here is the crash produced:

Check if gammu-1.20.0 fixes the problem. A lot of bugs have been fixed in this version.

Unfortunately it doesn't fix it. I still get the same crash.
