I don't manage to reproduce the segfault.

In addition, I think that opening binary file as a manual page is not a good idea. 'mc' should recognize the file type from its content, not from its extension. This is not a problem of groff.

dd if=/dev/urandom of=test.1 bs=1M count=10
mc
navigate to test.1
hit enter
press 'q'
->crash

if you can't generate test.1 that "works" (all I've generated were able to reproduce this problem) I can upload a working one somewhere

agree

yes, that would be much better

> This is not a problem of groff.    

disagree. Any error message would be fine/expected, but sigsegv is definitely wrong behaviour

Comment 5 Jan Vcelak 2010-06-28 17:03:58 UTC
That was really tricky! It depends on LC_ALL setting.

With LC_ALL=C, I get SIGSEGV.
With my default LC_ALL=cs_CZ.utf8, I get SIGABRT.

Both are different bugs. The first one is already fixed in upstream. The second one is not yet, however I've working patch.

Thank you for reopening. ;)
