GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 148054
Glib crashes with some filename encodings
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I found out this bug while using GIMP-2.0.1. ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141841 ) On a Korean version of Windows XP, make a file with filename "미현.rtf" [b9 cc c7 f6 2e 72 74 66], and open a file dialog in that directory in GIMP. Then GIMP crashes with the message: GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:140: failed to allocate 2147483649 bytes aborting...
Can you get a backtrace of where the crash ocurs - run it under a debugger and put a breakpoint on g_logv(). (This is not a GLib error, but some other part of the stack, most likely.)
I have installed GIMP from a pre-compiled binary, so I'm afraid I have a long way ahead before setting up a debugging environment on my system. I hope I'll be able to do it, anyway.
