Comment 1 Saikat Guha 2006-12-27 19:50:25 UTC

Seem like an Orbit2 bug.

(not specific to meld; bug 390065, bug 390057 have the same stack trace for the crash for gnome session properties and system monitor respectively)

+ Trace 97351

#2 <signal handler called>
#3 strlen
from /lib64/libc.so.6
#4 giop_send_buffer_append_string
at giop-send-buffer.c line 515


Particularly, the sending of a NULL string into strlen at giop-send-buffer.c:515

Comment 2 Saikat Guha 2006-12-27 19:52:39 UTC

ORBit2-2.14.4-1.fc7

Comment 3 Kjartan Maraas 2006-12-28 10:13:13 UTC

Looks like we should just add a g_return_if_fail (str != NULL) at the start of that function?
