Ok, the info I have dealing with this isn't as detailed as I would like, but anyways. Whenever I start centericq, and after inputing my passwords, it goes through the normal login phase. When it logs into MSN, right after it checks the email account, it seg faults. I can start it without MSN, and it works fine. I recompiled centericq with the standard CFLAGS. Still no improvement. I did run gdb with centericq, and got a trace back to libc.so.6. The error: 0xb7b14aa2 in strtouq () from /lib/libc.so.6 I recompiled both glibc and centericq with CFLAGS="-g3" to try and get a bit more detailed output, but it only removed the debug symbol errors and spitted out the same problem. I'm running the x86 stable version of glibc, and have been having this problem for awhile. I even removed my previous install, eclean-disted, removed my config files, and tried again with the same results. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start Centericq 2.input passwords 3.watch output in the log screen, with the Segmentation Fault error following the email check for MSN Actual Results: Seg fault. Expected Results: It should have gone through, and loged me into my chat accounts before sorting through my contact list emerge --info Portage 2.1.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Fri, 12 Jan 2007 08:50:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /usr/X11r6/bin/startx" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.phy.olemiss.edu/mirror/gentoo" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aiglx alsa alsa_cards_ali5451 alsa_cards_als4000 alsa_cards_atiixp alsa_cards_atiixp-modem alsa_cards_bt87x alsa_cards_ca0106 alsa_cards_cmipci alsa_cards_emu10k1x alsa_cards_ens1370 alsa_cards_ens1371 alsa_cards_es1938 alsa_cards_es1968 alsa_cards_fm801 alsa_cards_hda-intel alsa_cards_intel8x0 alsa_cards_intel8x0m alsa_cards_maestro3 alsa_cards_trident alsa_cards_usb-audio alsa_cards_via82xx alsa_cards_via82xx-modem alsa_cards_ymfpci alsa_pcm_plugins_adpcm alsa_pcm_plugins_alaw alsa_pcm_plugins_asym alsa_pcm_plugins_copy alsa_pcm_plugins_dmix alsa_pcm_plugins_dshare alsa_pcm_plugins_dsnoop alsa_pcm_plugins_empty alsa_pcm_plugins_extplug alsa_pcm_plugins_file alsa_pcm_plugins_hooks alsa_pcm_plugins_iec958 alsa_pcm_plugins_ioplug alsa_pcm_plugins_ladspa alsa_pcm_plugins_lfloat alsa_pcm_plugins_linear alsa_pcm_plugins_meter alsa_pcm_plugins_mulaw alsa_pcm_plugins_multi alsa_pcm_plugins_null alsa_pcm_plugins_plug alsa_pcm_plugins_rate alsa_pcm_plugins_route alsa_pcm_plugins_share alsa_pcm_plugins_shm alsa_pcm_plugins_softvol bash-completion bindist bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdinstall cdr cli cracklib crypt cscope ctype dbus dri elibc_glibc encode flac gif gpm hardened hardenedphp iconv imagemagick imlib input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jikes jpeg jpeg2k kernel_linux libedit libg++ libwww linguas_en mad maildir mmx mp3 mpeg ncurses nls no-old-linux nptl nptlonly ogg opengl pam pcre pdf php png posix prelude quicktime session spl sse sse2 symlink tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU video_cards_i810 video_cards_vesa videos vorbis xcomposite xine xml xorg zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Please, post the whole backtrace, not one line...
If you know how to get more, then please tell me. I posted all that I got. Like I said, I didn't get much. Don't beleive me, try it yourself.

package.masked pending removal for Bug 160793...
So there are plans to remove pretty much the only decent text-mode chat client from the tree?
yep, that's basically it.. No one seems to be interested enough to maintain it and fix all the bugs...
Dupe of Bug 131426 anyway. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 131426 ***
Won't just leave it masked for those of us who actually care for a decent chat client then?
(In reply to comment #8) > Won't just leave it masked for those of us who actually care for a decent chat > client then? Our definitions of decent are probably incompatible... :P Bug 81422, Bug 88640, Bug 116962, Bug 117358, Bug 131426, Bug 138154, dead upstream and security Bug 160793 as an added bonus....
All but two of those have patches listed in the bug list. This a case of "Well, I don't feel like it, so lets just slate it for removal"? As for definitions of "decent", try the only one like it. Anything else is only for a single protocol, and as anyone with any CLI experiance knows, its annoying to have to switch between screens constantly to keep up with things.
the patch for the 64bit doesn't work.. and more importantly, there is no patch for the security bug. if you are willing to maintain it, we can reconsider the masking.
Please stop producing useless noise here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 131426 ***
Duplicate, closed.
Has anyone looked at the CVS sources? (Dated: 2006-09-29)
(In reply to comment #14) > Has anyone looked at the CVS sources? (Dated: 2006-09-29) Yeah, about time they stopped producing those useless tarballs. Hint: look inside at the timestapms; the source code was last touched in mid-2005 (no, the autotools noise and precompiled cruft that shouldn't be in the tarball at all doesn't count as updates).
Sorry for acting like a bit of an ass. This does get old, though. I'm going to look into something to fix this, or start to make a replacement. I've needed something to work on to learn to code, so this would be a decent place to start.
