Ok, I can provide some further information: a) the truetype patch causes the crashes. I did test compilations on xpdf, using the sources from distfiles and applying the patches from portage. - no patch: works fine - only truetype patch: crash - all patches but truetype patch: works fine The crashes are highly similar to each other, looking at strace output and gdb backtraces. b) I can't reproduce the crashes on another machine. But the binary from this non-affected machine crashes on the affected one. So it's likely not to be an xpdf problem but a truetype one. I did research on both machines but couldn't find a hint for this difference in behaviour yet, mostly the same packages in the same versions, similar use flags. Nothing obviously cause for the crashes on one machine. caspar |
