Description Travis Reitter 2011-11-14 17:47:57 UTC

I've hit this bug in Empathy versions 3.2.1, 3.2.2, and 3.3.1.1-20110114 (master) and Telepathy Logger 0.2.12.0 (and an unknown-but-recent version of tp-logger).

It's possible that it's a problem with my developer prefix, so this may be INVALID.

And the problem isn't just this file; if I move it out of the way, I just get the crasher for the next innocuous-looking log file.

Do you have a custom build of libxml2 in you dev prefix?

> Do you have a custom build of libxml2 in you dev prefix?

No, it's just the stock version built by jhbuild.

I've frequently had warnings from other programs about it not having version info in its shared libraries, but that's the only thing that stands out.

I even did 'jhbuild uninstall libxml2; jhbuild buildone -cf libxml2" just now and still get the same results.

Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2011-11-21 13:44:20 UTC

Any interesting info with valgrind?

Comment 4 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-09-13 09:32:08 UTC

Are you still experiencing this crash Travis?

Closing the bug for now, feel free to re-open it.
