Xterm strace output (strace -o ... xterm)
Nalin... I think this is a gnome-terminal/vte bug It is not the terminal, but the bash shell itself. It even happens in a text VT. zsh seems unaffected by this problem. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00a9564d in _int_free (av=0xb4d760, mem=0x874e288) at malloc.c:4223 4223 unlink(p, bck, fwd); (gdb) bt #0 0x00a9564d in _int_free (av=0xb4d760, mem=0x874e288) at malloc.c:4223 #1 0x00a96b5b in __libc_free (mem=0x874e288) at malloc.c:3374 #2 0x00d76a26 in tgetent () from /lib/libtermcap.so.2 #3 0x080b407f in _rl_init_terminal_io (terminal_name=0x875c708 "gnome") at terminal.c:392 #4 0x080b4341 in rl_reset_terminal (terminal_name=0x36722d6d <Address 0x36722d6d out of bounds>) at terminal.c:525 #5 0x0806fccc in stupidly_hack_special_variables (name=0x874e998 "TERM") at variables.c:3472 #6 0x0807979b in do_assignment_internal (string=0x8741a70 "\220\032t\b\b�u\b", expand=0) at subst.c:1992 #7 0x08079987 in do_assignment_no_expand (string=0x36722d6d <Address 0x36722d6d out of bounds>) at subst.c:2017 #8 0x0809acfe in set_or_show_attributes (list=0x8746d08, attribute=1, nodefs=4) at setattr.def:217 #9 0x0809aad0 in export_builtin (list=0x36722d6d) at setattr.def:73 #10 0x0806a8ca in execute_builtin (builtin=0x809aab0 <export_builtin>, words=0x36722d6d, flags=0, subshell=0) at execute_cmd.c:2829 #11 0x0806b019 in execute_builtin_or_function (words=0x8749688, builtin=0x809aab0 <export_builtin>, var=0x36722d6d, redirects=0x36722d6d, fds_to_close=0x36722d6d, flags=0) at execute_cmd.c:3112 #12 0x0806a401 in execute_simple_command (simple_command=0x87575b0, pipe_in=-1, pipe_out=-1, async=0, fds_to_close=0x8750c38) at execute_cmd.c:2704 #13 0x0806781a in execute_command_internal (command=0x874f608, asynchronous=0, pipe_in=-1, pipe_out=-1, fds_to_close=0x8750c38) at execute_cmd.c:633 #14 0x08067345 in execute_command (command=0x36722d6d) at execute_cmd.c:328 #15 0x0805c9b0 in reader_loop () at eval.c:143 #16 0x0805ac95 in main (argc=1, argv=0xfeedb554, env=0xfeedb55c) at shell.c:690 Created attachment 99597 [details]
termcap-116934.patch
Try this patch.
I have just tried this with gnome-terminal/xterm with todays Rawhide tree (upgraded from a fc2test3 install), and this is not reproducable. libtermcap-2.0.8-37.1 xterm-179-6.EL gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2 termcap-11.0.1-18.1 libtermcap-devel-2.0.8-37.1 This might be closable as RAWHIDE. I have the exact same versions as in comment #5, and I can still reproduce this crash. Will need to test patch a little later. Patch works for me. Can reproduce the crash on FC1 with libtermcap-2.0.8-37.1 (rebuilt from rawhide), but can't reproduce it with the patch from comment 4 being applied. Confirmation for yesterday's Rawhide. Needs eight (8) times toggling $TERM between gnome and gnome-rh9 to crash. Patch fixes it. OK, with the standard .bashrc in /etc/skel, this cannot be reproduced, as in comment #5. However, using a custom .bashrc crashes gnome-terminal (or the tab that it was running in). The patch in comment #4 works to fix this. On FC1, the crash does happen with a custom .bashrc, but with a fresh user I still cannot reproduce the crash. Fixed package has been built as 2.0.8-38. fixed in rawhide-latest (as of 08/05/2004) using libtermcap-2.0.8-39. Please re-open this issue if the bug re-appears. |
