Description Bill Nottingham 2003-10-14 14:09:15 UTC
In general browsing with elinks, it
a) segfaults
b) hangs doing DNS lookups

Here's a backtrace of the segfault (from the core file; when run under gdb DNS
lookups just don't work):

Any particular page that causes this?

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2003-10-14 14:49:50 UTC
Created attachment 95162 [details]
test file

Save this, load it with links ./foo.html, and hit enter on the link. It hangs
for me, but only when running links under gnome-terminal (works fine from the
console.)

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2003-10-14 15:18:22 UTC
Works for me. :-/

Comment 4 Chris Ricker 2003-10-14 16:58:27 UTC
In an xterm, it works

In gnome-terminal, it hangs forever on the DNS query

If I strace it in gnome-terminal, the DNS query works

I'm seeing segfaults too. On two different computers I saw it segfault when I
tried "links http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/"
in gnome-terminal, as my first links invocation after a fresh install. This
segfault did not happen on any links invocations after the first one after a
fresh install (of test2 on one system, test3 on the other).

I guess this isn't enough info to help, but I'm mentioning all this just in case
it is...

Comment 6 Carlos Rodrigues 2003-11-30 16:41:13 UTC
I'm also seeing elinks hanging on DNS lookups within gnome-terminal,
but in Fedora Core 1.

Comment 7 Jonathan Marc Bearak 2003-12-07 01:36:06 UTC
I've had this problem with elinks regardless of running it in
gnome-terminal, xterm, or console.  I just noticed that on 11/25
Elinks 0.4.3 was released.  I compiled it, and am no longer having any
problems.
