rxvt-unicode version is 3.0. if i type "make menuconfig" (for example when i want to recompile the kernel) when i'm using the rxvt-unicode console it crashes, saying "aborted" or something similar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a rxvt-unicode console 2. cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig Actual Results: the rxvt-unicode windows immediately disappear, and if i had started urxvt from another console (like xterm) i can also see the error message "Abortito" which means "Aborted". Expected Results: the window should not disappear and i should be able to run make menuconfig. bash-2.05b# emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r2 (default-x86-2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.5.3 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups encode f77 foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 imlib java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png ppds python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype usb x86 xml2 xprint xv zlib"
same problem with rxvt-unicode-4.7: fctk@thorium ~ $ urxvt terminate called after throwing an instance of 'out_of_input' Aborted many things changed in my system since then but the problem with this app is still the same.
I used to have this same problem. It only happens in rare situations, but it's fully reproducible if you make sure the circumstances are exactly the same. For me, a ls in my home directory did it, but it worked fine if I added a file, and started breaking again when I removed that newly created file. I had looked at it a bit, and I don't know if it's a bug in gcc or in urxvt, but it's triggered by -mno-accumulate-outgoing-args, which is implied by -Os. Could you see if it works for you too with -O2?
thanks! CFLAGS="-O2" emerge rxvt-unicode fixed the problem!
Ok, I've added in 5.2 some code to strip out that flag, as well as replace Os with O2 as needed. Thanks for the info.
The "replace-flags -Os -O2" doesnt seem to have any effect when placed inside pkg_preinst()... I guess the "pkg_preinst" function is called after the compilation of the package, so it takes no effect. I'd advise to place it inside src_unpack, but I don't know if that would be the proper place... If someone could verify this, I'd say re-open the bug until the ebuild is fixed. (?)

confirmed. i can't even emerge with a target of world without triggering a silent crash. the flag-o-matic functions should be called in src_compile(). reopening bug. FYI: (during configure) Rxvt version: 5.3 : 2005-03-13 Source code location: . Install path: /usr/bin Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ **Compiler flags: -Os -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2/config Linker: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc malloc support: system default Xpm library: -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm
Created attachment 54210 [details, diff] /home/dirtyepic/rxvt-unicode-5.3.ebuild.diff erm, guess i can't reopen it. here's a ebuild diff anyways. it simply moves the flag stuff to src_unpack(), before the sed line that replaces '-g -O3' with ${CFLAGS} in configure. i'd put it in src_compile() where it belongs, but the sed line has to come after the flag replacement so this way avoids shuffling everything around. tested and wfm.
I just started to use urxvt (version 5.3, on a ~x86 system) as my main terminal and also run into this problem. So after finding this bug I re-emerged it and it still segfaults here with 'make menuconfig'. urxvt appears to be quite unstable in other ways too. It can crash for example when I push Page Up/Down puttons when viewing a man page. BTW, I just love the fact that rxvt-unicode now uses my CFLAGS :)
