What were you doing when the application crashed?
Moving between fields in a "split", as best as I can recall.

Comment 1 Charles Day 2008-07-14 17:35:34 UTC

As of r17327, the variable "info" in gnc_split_register_load() in split-register-load.c does not get checked to see if it might be NULL before being dereferenced. That's a problem, but I don't think that's what is causing this gdb output.

It looks more like the assert() at line 277 of the same function. I've never
touched the register code, so I'm surely the wrong person to take this on, but
I thought this information would be useful to whoever does.

Comment 3 Charles Day 2008-07-14 17:40:28 UTC

Bug 514267 and bug 516167 are also duplicates of this bug.

Comment 4 Charles Day 2008-07-14 17:42:38 UTC

This bug is probably related to bug 499215, although the gdb output is a little different.

Comment 5 Christian Stimming 2008-11-03 11:18:53 UTC

Comment 6 Charles Day 2009-03-12 06:34:33 UTC

Actually this is the same point of failure as bug 499215. I've found a bug that causes that failure and fixed it in r17962. Closing this one out as fixed. Targeting for 2.3.x as this patch is unlikely to be backported for 2.2.x.
