Description Elijah Newren 2002-12-03 21:38:48 UTC
As per my discussion with Luis, I'm opening this tracker bug.  I'm
filing this against gtk+, because that's my best guess at where the
problem is.  I believe this bug has possibly been fixed, due to
comments below.  I'm opening this because there's a stack trace
showing up in bug reports against all kinds of components.  Some have
been closed, but some are still open.  Hopefully this will help track
down the problems and make it easier to close/resolve future bug
reports.

I have found a lot of bugs with the following stack trace (or very similar):

  • #0 wait4
    from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
  • #1 sys_sigabbrev
    from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
  • #2 waitpid
    from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0
  • #3 gnome_scores_display_with_pixmap
    from /usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.so.0

Bugs which have the same four function stack trace, by product filed against:
galeon-bin:            bug 100262
gedit:                 bug 96352
gnomemeeting:          bug 95939
gnome-terminal:        bug 95868, bug 90341
gnome-panel:           bug 92708, bug 94569, bug 97809
gtranslator:           bug 91664
metacity-setup:        bug 89436, bug 91000
nautilus:          bug 98694, bug 88939, bug 95572, bug 95671, bug 92243
nautilus-gtkhtml-view: bug 95544, bug 97888
sol:                   bug 97606

Bugs which have one to three more uniformative functions in stack trace:
gnome-system-monitor:  bug 82948  
gnome-settings-daemon: bug 96585  
nautilus:              bug 84178, bug 85427
gnome-panel:           bug 84323

Bugs with lots longer stack traces that may be related:
gnomeicu:              bug 87222, bug 88428
gnome-terminal:        bug 90522
nautilus:              bug 86228, bug 87899, bug 88469, bug 88276


Below, I've posted some comments that make me think this is a gtk
problem and that I believe would be the most helpful in tracking this
core problem down.

From bug 100262, arcee@pacbell.net said:
get the following console message:
(bug-buddy:5564): Gtk_CRITAICAL **: file ../../gtk/gtktextiter.c: line
3525 (gtk_text_iter_set_line_offset): assertion `char_on_line <
chars_in_line' failed

From bug 85427, ryants@shaw.ca said:
Upgrading to gtk+ 2.0.5 solved this problem.

From bug 82948, Kevin Vandersloot said:
This is almost certainly an oft reported bug, caused by gtk. It 
should be fixed when gtk 2.0.3 is released (which should be very 
soon)...

Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2002-12-03 21:55:57 UTC
I feel bad about pointing this out, since you've clearly
spent a lot of time here, but this backtrace actually
indicates "crash without symbols".

gnome_scores_display_with_pixmap() is just the first (or
maybe the last) function in libgnomeui, so it is likely
to be what gdb will find as the closest function when
it doesn't have information about what function is 
really at the address.

I don't think these bugs have any connection to each other.

I'd suggest un'dupping the last two bugs, and closing.
Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2002-12-03 22:37:20 UTC
Oh.  Well, I wish Luis would have known that and pointed it out when I
asked him about all this.  Oh, well.

Before I close this, let me point out a few things.  I was able to
find the distribution of 6 people--all of them were Mandrake (either
Cooker, a beta for version 9, or version 9 itself).  One person had an
'eel dependancy problem' in compiling nautilus.  The rest,
unfortunately, I have already asked to add a comment here about what
distribution they were using (as per Luis' suggestion).

Anyway, I'll close this now.
Comment 5 gabrieltalks 2002-12-04 03:22:00 UTC
I am the reporter of 92243.

I have changed to RH since and have not seen the problem. Yes I was
using Mandrake at the time, not sure if it was RC3 or Dolphin. Cannot
remember the build number.
Comment 6 arcee 2002-12-04 21:19:32 UTC
Hi,

I am the original reporter of bug 100262.

I am using Mandrake 8.2 and gtk+2.0-2.0.5-2mdk. There appears to be a
gtk+2.0-2.0.6-2mdk which corrects some bugs in the prior version. I'll
upgrade it and see what happens with Galeon 1.30-2mdk.
