Description Kingsley G. Morse Jr. 2015-09-05 07:30:00 UTC

Thanks for maintaining gnumeric.

I think its charts are great.

I happened to notice that a certain workbook works with version 1.12.18, but
gets a "Segmentation fault" on 1.12.23-1.

The following ends up in /var/log/syslog ...

kernel: [510407.133892] gnumeric[16905]: segfault at 0 ip b1895532 sp bfdc15c0 error 4 in surface.so[b1889000+1d000]

and gdb reports the following stack trace

(gdb) bt

+ Trace 235420

I'm not sure, but I think a chart that combines about 10 XY graphs and a plotXYZmatrix graph elicits the bug.

On Sep 5, 2015, jean wrote on #gnumeric that he was able get a crash with

0x00007fffe2d1d270 in gog_xyz_matrix_plot_build_matrix (plot=0x9655e0, cardinality_changed=0x0) at gog-xyz-surface.c:170

Keep up the good work,
Kingsley
