Reproduced with current packages in development. (Doesn't happen with f7 x86_64 for me.) Could you try reverting to gc-6.8 to see if that makes a difference? Yes, reverting gc to 6.8 helps. And rebuilding w3m against gc-7.0 helps too. So that means ABI break in gc. So all dependencies of gc should be rebuilt. [root@rawhide64 ~]# repoquery --whatrequires 'libgc.so.1()(64bit)' gc-0:7.0-1.fc8.x86_64 sdcc-0:2.6.0-10.fc7.x86_64 Macaulay2-0:0.9.95-4.fc7.x86_64 asymptote-0:1.32-1.fc8.x86_64 gc-devel-0:7.0-1.fc8.x86_64 inkscape-0:0.45.1-1.fc7.x86_64 w3m-0:0.5.2-1.fc8.x86_64 Ccing owners of the above packages. I would prefer if gc were held back to 6.8, since it's only in updates-testing. This is a gc bug after all, it's not meant to break ABI. Looking at the gc mailing list, there seems to be a number of issues with 7.0, i.e. ABI could break again with further 7.x updates.

But for Fedora 8 I'd leave that on the gc maintainer. Rex? on Tomas Mraz request, I already started w3m build on koji for devel branch. w3m-0.5.2-2 built successfully against gc-7.0 Reopening for F-7. I submitted a patch to work around this for bug 248700. will wait for new release of gc for F7 and then accordingly release new version of w3m for F7 only. I think that for F7 the gc should be fixed which is the bug 248700. So no need for reopening this one. (IMHO gc should be fixed for F8 - rawhide too.) |
w3m crashes on x86_64 immediately with segfault. I don't know whether it crashes on other architectures as well. The crash is in gc library so I'm cc-ing gc library maintainer. 0x00002aaaaaaf2ec9 in GC_malloc (bytes=24) at thread_local_alloc.c:176 176 GC_FAST_MALLOC_GRANS(result, granules, tiny_fl, DIRECT_GRANULES, (gdb) bt #0 0x00002aaaaaaf2ec9 in GC_malloc (bytes=24) at thread_local_alloc.c:176 #1 0x000000000045ccbe in newGeneralList () at textlist.c:23 #2 0x000000000040fcd3 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fff0ced58b8, envp=<value optimized out>) at main.c:408 #3 0x0000003b51a1daa4 in __libc_start_main () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #4 0x00000000004045d9 in _start ()
