Description erik.anderson 2002-04-10 04:51:43 UTC 
Package: Pan
Severity: major
Version: 0.11.2
Synopsis: Pan doesn't run under Japanese locale
Bugzilla-Product: Pan
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
Attempting to open Pan with the system locale set to Japanese yields a
warning message stating simply that "Application Pan has encountered a
fatal error and crashed (segmentation fault)" [<-- translated from the
Japanese error message].  Attempting to run it from a terminal yields 
"GLib-WARNING **: g_printf_string_upper_bound(): unable to handle
positional parameters (%n$)
/home/user/12327: No such file or directory.
[setting tty state failed in terminal_inferior: Input/output error]
172	wrapsyscall.c: No such file or directory.
664	gnome-init.c: No such file or directory.
97	signals.c: No such file or directory.
1076	gstrfuncs.c: No such file or directory."

One workaround is to terminate the X session and restart it with the
locale set to English, but that can be a pain in the but if you've got a
lot of apps open and in progress.  I could use Mozilla or some such, but
as I really like Pan, I'd like to see this bug fixed.  Maybe it already
is -- I know I've got an older version.  

HTH,

Comment 1 Christophe Lambin 2002-04-10 06:55:57 UTC 
Erik, thanks for a _very_ helpful bugreport:  it led me straight to
the source of the problem.

I can confirmed this in glib-1.2.10-ximian.5:
g_printf_string_upper_bound() segfaults when dealing with these
positional parameters.

Comment 3 Charles Kerr 2002-04-10 15:39:02 UTC 
This bug has been giving us headaches for awhile now,
but you're the first one to link it to the Japanese
locale.  Thanks *very* much for the detailed bug report.

Fixed in CVS.  Thanks to Takeshi Aihana for refreshing ja.po &
removing the positional parameters.
