Description bugs 2003-11-03 08:43:54 UTC

Attempted to try to run Qt Nethack for first time.
qt-3.1.2-r4 and nethack-3.4.2
1 in 3 times or so it manages to start with corrupted graphics, and often
non-functional keyboard input.
The other times it segfaults, usually as shown in strace attachment.  Two
worrying things about the segfault that I can see offhand.
Fairly clear memory has been corrupted from the filename it tries to open.
And, even more worrying, it seems to have been linked against /var/tmp qt files.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run  /usr/bin/nethack or /usr/games/bin/nethack 
2.  If it doesn't crash immediately, see if you have keyboard.
3.  Clicking mouse to move adventurer seems to quickly eliminate keyboard
responsiveness.


Actual Results:  
Nethack is either unresponsive or crashed.
If it managed to start up, portions of the theme (scrollbars, radio buttons, the
like) are corrupted.

Expected Results:  
Started up cleanly.

At recommendation from lu_zero I updated to ~x86 qt-3.2.2

Works fine now.
My vote for fixing the qt-3.1.2-r4 ebuild or pushing qt-3.2.2 to ARCH.

Dang it.
It does seem to work now, no corrupted graphics, no crashing.
*but*  I still see searching for /var/tmp qt files in strace. 
Quite odd.

the searching of $S is a 'feature' of QT ... dont worry about it, it wont
match the files and ultimately settles on the real lib (/usr/lib/libmng.so.1)
...

in terms of stability, you'll have to file a new bug to push QT-3.2.2 to
stable ... for now i've added a little message to the ebuild saying that
qt-3.1.2 may be unstable ...

Don't quite follow...  Why is /var/tmp in the path at all?
Also, is there any way, if there is a list of search dirs, to push those
near the bottom or remove entirely?
Seems kind of silly to have that happen every time.
