util-linux maintainers, the segfault appears to be in line 156 in libuuid's get_random_fd() function:

    jrand_seed[0] = getpid() ^ (tv.tv_sec & 0xFFFF);

Any idea what could be causing this?

Can you still reproduce with gnome-documents-0.2.1, tracker-0.12.6, and util-linux-2.20.1?

[Comment 4 t3eblinder 2011-10-27 09:00:13 UTC]

I can still reproduce this.

1.) updated to util-linux-2.20.1 (did not work)
2.) revdep-rebuild did not found any broken links, so I re-emerged gjs and gnome-documents. (get almost the same backtrace)

Still valid with updated system using packages from main tree?

The bug is gone. It opens fine!
