System: i686, Athlon, compiled as i586 application: xpdf-3.00-r3 I stumbled over two pdf files I can't view with xpdf due to a segfault right after startup. It seems as one or more of the patches are causing the problem for I compiled vanilla xpdf and it worked fine and after applying the patches it didn't work anymore. The testfiles I used are available online (as of 22.10.2004): 1,9MB: http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/pageitems/document/cda_downloaddocument/0,11996,0-0-45-78009-0,00.pdf 3,4MB: http://www.digium.com/handbook-draft.pdf bye caspar Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. get the pdf files 2. view pdf with xpdf-3.00-r3 3. compile vanilla xpdf 4. view pdf Actual Results: with gentoo patched xpdf: crash with vanilla xpdf: no crash Expected Results: both should not crash
Ok, I can provide some further information: a) the truetype patch causes the crashes. I did test compilations on xpdf, using the sources from distfiles and applying the patches from portage. - no patch: works fine - only truetype patch: crash - all patches but truetype patch: works fine The crashes are highly similar to each other, looking at strace output and gdb backtraces. b) I can't reproduce the crashes on another machine. But the binary from this non-affected machine crashes on the affected one. So it's likely not to be an xpdf problem but a truetype one. I did research on both machines but couldn't find a hint for this difference in behaviour yet, mostly the same packages in the same versions, similar use flags. Nothing obviously cause for the crashes on one machine. caspar
