I'm still not able to understand why and where this crash happens to you.

Could you give me some detail about your system? You should find a
list of useful info in the gedit README file.

It looks like the reporter is using FreeBSD and that this is likely a
FreeBSD issue.  See bug 100709 (and specifically, smkelly@zombie.org's
comments in that bug) for more details.  This can probably just be
marked as a duplicate of that bug...

The following comment from 100709 may be relevant: "It turns out this
was an
accidental FreeBSD ABI change during the import of gcc-3.2.1. div(), a
structure
returning function, was the culprit."

Foster: is this the case?

*** Bug 111715 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The exact same thing happens to me on FreeBSD 5.0. Perhaps it is a
FreeBSD issue? 

Additionally, I just installed 2.3.0 on the same machine, and it
starts and exits properly.

If any more info is needed, either email me or message me on IRC (I'm
usually in #gedit as EsKi).

<FreeBSDMarcus> EsKi: It's probably a pointer issue.  If you ln -s aj
/etc/malloc.conf, the crash should go away.


I haven't tested this here, but it's worth a try.

hmmm... FreeBSD guys: can I close it as NOTGNOME?
Is this crash really caused by a FreeBSD problem and not by a gedit
one as suggested in the similar bug #100709?

*** Bug 130531 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

FreeBSD guys ??? Please!

We were seeing a problem where gedit would crash on exit if the spell
checker plug-in was loaded.  This has since gone away, and I haven't
heard of recent complaints.  I would urge all users still having the
problem to build the latest gedit-2.4.1 from ports (along with the
other dependency bits), and see if the problem persists.  If it does,
have them add:

CFLAGS= -O -g -pipe
STRIP=

To /etc/make.conf, and rebuild gedit.  Then we should be able to run
gedit within gdb, and get a usable stack trace with symbols.

Closing it.
Feel free to reopen it if you still see it in gedit 2.x.y with x >= 4.
