Comment 1 Don Scorgie 2006-10-21 16:19:50 UTC
Thanks for the bug report.  I can confirm the bug here (without beagle running).

The relevant section of the stacktrace (missing above) is:

(gdb) bt
->#0  slow_search_setup (pager=0x84f4a88) at yelp-search-pager.c:1399
  • #1 g_idle_dispatch
    at gmain.c line 3926

  • #5 IA__gtk_main
    at gtkmain.c line 1024
  • #6 main
    at yelp-main.c line 118

Along with the error messages:
(yelp:7450): Yelp-WARNING **: beagled not running, using basic search support.

(yelp:7450): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion `string != NULL' failed

(yelp:7450): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strv_length: assertion `str_array != NULL' failed

(yelp:7450): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion `string != NULL' failed

I'll look at and fix this when I get a chance.  With beagle running, no crash happens
Comment 2 Don Scorgie 2006-10-25 08:46:48 UTC
I've committed a simple empty check on the search string.  This stops the crash.  This should appear in the next version of yelp (2.16.2)

Closing.  Thanks.
