In those last few critical seconds when I'm clutching the keyboard and bite its keys off, bidwatcher goes tits-up on me: ================== Trying to snipe with idx 2 key 'blah_blah_blah' amount 311.23 quantity 1 [2005-06-01 20:31:33] Refreshing auction information. *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x080f88c0 *** ================== Not nice (I've lost two auctions so far). :( Thinking about I was logged in to ebay using another box when this happened, but that shouldn't matter, right? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch bidwatcher 2.Set it up 3.Snipe time comes Actual Results: Bidwatcher crashes. Expected Results: Snipe happily so that I can win the darn auction! # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102- r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Apr 27 2005, 17:44:00)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/ config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/co nfig /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userlocales userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.eliteitminds.com ftp://194.117.143.70/mirrors/gentoo ftp://194.117.143.69/mirrors/gentoo http://194.117.143.71 http://pandemonium.tiscali. de/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gentoo/ ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/ gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts crypt cups curl emboss encode fam flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gpm gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis ooo-kde opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline scanner sdl spell ssl svga tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb vorbis xine xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS

how is this a blocker?
I can confirm that bidwatcher also segfaulted for me at least twice so far. I believe both times were as the auction approaches, but several minutes away (15-45, maybe), not seconds before sniping. I did not get a core dump from the segfault.

What have you set the snipping time gap as? -- Regards, Mick
Now it does not sefault anymore, because it never reaches the stage of snipping. :( The auction numbers are rejected as Invalid, e.g.: =============== [2005-08-19 23:51:16] Error: Invalid auction number. (5232232130) =============== -- Regards, Mick
Removing from portage, it's useless.
