Account data corruption if Authentication User is blank
Last modified: 2009-02-01 21:08:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: If I leave the field "Authentication User" in the Edit Account dialog, a subsequent Caht | Quit + restart cycle corrupts the account data. In my case the Authentication USer, password and timeout are more or less random. Steps to reproduce: 1. Wipe out eny existiong config; ekiga-config-tool --clean 2. Reinstall ekiga, run the configuration wizard. 3. Run the Accounts | Edit Account dialog for the Ekiga account 4. Clear the "Authentication User" field, close dialog. 5. Chat | Quit 6. Restart ekiga 7. Verify corrupted data in the Edit | Accounts | Edit Account dialog. Actual results: Authentication User, password and timeout are more or less random. Expected results: They should not be random :-). Valgrind should not report illegal memory accesses (see below). Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Valgrind reports accesses to unitialized memory iff the Authentication User field is blank. This is on Fedora 10/X86_64
I have fixed it. Thanks for finding this !
