Description Brock.Erwin 2011-12-20 23:27:08 UTC
Description of problem:

Calling certain python cairo functions causes a MemoryError.  Context::text_extents() is one of them.  text_path() is another.  An easy way to reproduce this bug is to run the "warpedtext.py" example program shipped with the "pycairo" package.

$ /usr/share/doc/pycairo-1.8.6/examples/warpedtext.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/doc/pycairo-1.8.6/examples/warpedtext.py", line 71, in <module>
    ctx.text_path("pycairo - " + "spam " * 5)
MemoryError



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pycairo-1.8.6-2.1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible: happens every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the "/usr/share/doc/pycairo-1.8.6/examples/warpedtext.py" script.


Expected results:  The script should work and not throw a MemoryError.
