Description Loïc Minier 2006-01-29 16:59:18 UTC 
Hi,

Xavier Bestel reported in Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/337520 that Galeon reproducely crashes at session login.  The backtrace he provided seems to locate the crash in the pixbuf animation code.

This could be a Gtk bug, or perhaps a race condition.

Xavier says Galeon doesn't crash when launched manually afterwards.

The backtrace looks as follows:
0x5558e231 in __waitpid_nocancel () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0

+ Trace 65715

  • #0 __waitpid_nocancel
    from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0

(Other threads and details can be found in the Debian report.)

Cheers,

(By the way, Serge Gavrilov runs Ubuntu and has the same problem.)
Comment 2 Christian Kirbach 2006-01-29 23:28:33 UTC 
unique and complete trace.
gtk+ crash
confirming.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2011-12-16 22:16:27 UTC 
This could be a thread-safety issue that I've just fixed. In any case, the stacktrace contains not much information, and this bug is many years old, so I am going to close it, in the hope that the fix works.
