Unknown version 2.14.3 in product epiphany.  Setting version to "2.14.x".

Comment 1 Elijah Newren 2006-09-29 19:42:35 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

Comment 2 bugbuddy 2006-09-30 09:02:37 UTC

I recompiled Epiphany with debug info enabled and run it in gdb.

Ended with a:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread -1240450880 (LWP 23483)]
0xb7388868 in strcmp () from /lib/libc.so.6

This is very reproducable. Happens everytime i try access preferences.

Added backtrace attachment.

+ Trace 73680

#0 strcmp

This crash stems from the gtkfilechooserbutton in the epiphany prefs dialogue, so it's either a problem with the gnome-vfs backend, or in gtk+. Re-assigning.
