Bug 205699

That time, is the agent down?
If it's down, what error is shown in dsmg?
Please move into a virtual terminal and check it.

Thanks for the tips Ryo-san. I will watch out for these error message. 

Btw, you can get the corefile if the agent is crashed.
It will help us to solve this problem. :)

1. Make a shell script "scim-bridge" as follows:

#!/usr/bin/bash

ulimic -c unlimited
exec /usr/bin/scim-bridge

2. Install the script into /usr/local/bin/

3. Patch "scim-bridge-agent.cpp" as follows and make install it:

retval_t ScimBridgeAgentImpl::launch ()
{
    scim_bridge_pdebugln (5, "launch ()");
...
        } else {
            // This is the child process.
-            if (chdir ("/")) {
+            if (chdir ("/tmp")) {
                scim_bridge_perrorln ("Cannot change the working directory: %s",
strerror (errno));
                return RETVAL_FAILED;
            }
            close (0);
            close (1);
            close (2);
        }

        scim_bridge_pdebugln (5, "Daemonize done");
...
}

4. Logout once, and relogin.

5. Wait until the agent crashes.

Is this any better with scim-bridge-0.4.5?

Closing for now.  Please reopen if you still see this.
