Description lawrence.dnp 2021-05-10 13:20:14 UTC
There is a translations related issue that causing Transmission to crash few seconds after some specific torrents download start.

There is my use case :
- I'm using gentoo stable
- My system Locale is "fr_FR.utf8"
- Downloading the "manjaro-xfce-21.0.4-210506-linux510.iso.torrent" the currently latest Manjaro XFCE ISO
- Transmission crash after few seconds with this message :

*** invalid %N$ use detected ***
Abandon (core dumped)

However, compiling without the nls use flag in order to disable translations fix the issue.

There is the link to the upstream github issue : https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/1353

Can you include emerge --info and a backtrace with debugging symbols (see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Debugging)?

We'll have to play a bit more to get a useful bt, I think.

Let me know if I can help or if I can do something for you about this...
