I didn't remember to say that that happens after I upgrade aspell to 0.60.1.1
but dunno if it meanings something

[Comment 2 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-12-08 08:09:27 UTC]

Did you build gaim with USE="debug"?  There are no debugging symbols in your backtrace.

[Comment 3 Stefano Pacella (RETIRED) 2004-12-08 09:15:40 UTC]

Created attachment 45542 [details]
gaim b

[Comment 4 Stefano Pacella (RETIRED) 2004-12-08 09:17:48 UTC]

Comment on attachment 45542 [details]
gaim b

in attachment there is a bt with USE="debug"

[Comment 5 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-12-13 11:36:43 UTC]

This is the log output, but not the backtrace.  To get the backtrace, you type 'bt' in gdb after the segfault.  See http://gaim.sf.net/gdb.php

[Comment 6 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2005-01-14 11:32:45 UTC]

Still waiting for backtrace.

[Comment 7 Stefano Pacella (RETIRED) 2005-01-15 15:54:16 UTC]

upgrading aspell, aspell-xx, enchant seems risolve my probs
I talked to you about it in -dev
that's why I've not posted my bt
