Full output of "strace xterm"
Perhaps similar to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=255749 (a walkback using the core dump would be useful, perhaps). Interestingly, I was able to work around the problem for now by copying the xterm binary from a Fedora Core 1 system. No idea why that works, but it does. I'll see if I can come up with a gdb stack trace. Even more interesting, I went back to the FC2 version of xterm after applying another round of updates today, and poof! It works now. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: After applying the most recent (as of July 21 2004) round of Fedora Core 2 updates, xterm no longer works. It instantly crashes with a segfault. I doubt this bug is actually in xterm, as xterm itself has not been updated. It is more likely in one of the shared libraries it uses, but xterm is the only program I use that is exhibiting the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xterm-179-6.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simply try to run xterm 2. 3. Actual Results: Segmentation fault Expected Results: Launch xterm window Additional info: Here is the tail of an strace run: open("/home/greg/.ICEauthority", O_RDONLY) = 5 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=5177, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x4000b000 read(5, "\0\3ICE\0\0\0$local/diamondage:/tmp/."..., 4096) = 4096 read(5, "P\0\0\0$local/diamondage:/tmp/.ICE-"..., 4096) = 1081 close(5) = 0 munmap(0x4000b000, 4096) = 0 write(4, "\0\4\1\0\3\0\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\0g\360|\323\254\2421s\303"..., 32) = 32 read(4, "\0\10\0\1\3\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(4, "\7\0GnomeSM\0001.\5\0002.6.0mmand", 24) = 24 write(4, "\1\1\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 16) = 16 read(4, "\1\2\0\1\6\0\0\0", 8) = 8 read(4, "%\0\0\000117f000001000109050890100000"..., 48) = 48 getpid() = 4270 write(4, "\1\f\1\0.\0\0\0\5\0\0\0\374<\253G\f\0\0\0CloneCommand"..., 376) = 376 setresuid32(-1, 500, -1) = 0 setresgid32(-1, 500, -1) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
