Description Havoc Pennington 2002-07-03 18:38:06 UTC 
Run MALLOC_CHECK_=2, "save as" the empty document, note crash on closing
the file dialog.

Probably is that sometimes fname == uri but both are always freed, so
there's a double free sometimes. This is in gedit_file_save_as(). Fix is
trivial
so I won't bother with a patch.

Can close https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67496
when this is closed.
Comment 2 Paolo Maggi 2002-07-04 12:31:43 UTC 
Havoc: excuse for my ignorance, but what do you mean exacly with "Run
MALLOC_CHECK_=2"? Do you mean "export MALLOC_CHECK_=2"?

BTW, I think to have fixed the bug in the post-gnome-2 branch of gedit.
Comment 3 Paolo Maggi 2002-07-04 13:06:24 UTC 
Havoc: I've found what MALLOC_CHECK_=2 is supposed to do in the malloc
man page. 

I will close this bug as soon as I will merge the post-gnome-2 branch
with HEAD.
Comment 4 Paolo Maggi 2002-07-04 23:08:10 UTC 
Fixed in CVS HEAD too
