Bug 79715 – cricket's compile always produces a segmentation fault after emerge --sync

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Harry 2005-01-27 06:30:39 UTC]

cricket ( http://cricket.sourceforge.net/ ) v1.0.5 was installed and running without any problem whatsoever.

a emerge --sync (which updated, among others, gcc and perl) resulted in ~cricket/cricket/compile always being terminated with a segmentation fault (without a core dump) 

~cricket/cricket/compile -logLevel debug indicated that the problem is occuring while within a loop at  ~cricket/cricket/lib/ConfigTree/Node.pm

Segmentation fault
#
The cricket-config/* files were reviewed, but they were as expected and even removed the ones that were processed when the problem occurs (so as to eliminate any odd configuration) but the problem occurs every time compile runs.

cricket pre-requisitives (perl modules) where re-emerged (just in case, as the above might just indicate a call to a broken C library) but the problem remains.





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. su - cricket
2. cd cricket
3. ./compile

Actual Results:  
Possible precedence problem on bitwise | operator at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/BER.pm line 611.
[27-Jan-2005 16:26:44 ] Log level changed from warn to info.

Segmentation fault

~/cricket-config/config.db.lock remains




Expected Results:  
"compile" should have finished creating a new ~cricket/cricket-config/config.db
file:
