I can send the picture that allows me reproduce this everytime, however it is like 13 or 14 Megs. Let me know if you want me attach it to this bug.
This is very strange because I never experienced this for as long as I can remember and I regularly work on really large files (up to ~100MB). In fact just yesterday I used the magic wand tool on an ~18MB full resolution scan of one of my slides, it worked as expected. Please attach a bzipped _complete_ strace as I cannot see what the file descriptor the gimp fails on with -EPIPE is connected to.
Forgot: run it like this: strace -Ff -s 80 -o gimp-strace.out gimp <...> This might get mighty big, so please tell me if the bzipped strace file exceeds 2MB, then I have to think about something else.
I just tried this on the largest image available to me (5313 x 3542 pixels, 197MB size in mem) and it worked as expected.
Wow, the uncompressed file was 300MB. After 30 minutes of bzipping, it came out at 2.2MB. Do you want me to attach it?
Amazing, but no -- bugzilla will refuse it, it's too large... ;-). We'll have to do it differently. Please give only the last 20 lines or so, I'll tell you what to do then.
BTW, just curious -- what did you do? I straced selecting my file exactly with the same strace command and it was only like 14.5MB uncompressed. I did: - start the gimp - load the file via File/Open Recent - choose the magic wand tool - click in the image to select something - end the gimp
Created attachment 98086 [details] Lastt 20 lines of strace that you requested Here's the strace. Yup, thats how I created the trace, only after I select something with the wand, I get the hourgall cursor for a while then poof. Gimp dies.
Please run this on your strace file and give me the output: LANG=C egrep -20 '^[0-9]+ socket.* = 3$' <yourfilehere>
ahh and maybe (I'm in for double comments today, eh?) this as well: LANG=C grep ' = 3$' <yourfilehere> | egrep -v 'read|write'
Just noticed this is FC1 -- been a bit obsessed with gimp-2.0pre for the upcoming FC2 lately... I could reproduce this in gimp-1.2.5 also, finally I'm getting somewhere.
You didn't run strace with '-Ff', did you? I'm missing the PIDs at the beginning of the lines. Anyway, doesn't hurt, just do the greps like this: LANG=C egrep '^(socket|connect)' <yourfilehere> LANG=C grep ' = 3$' <yourfilehere> | LANG=C egrep -v 'read|write'
Created attachment 98090 [details] output from LANG=C grep ' = 3$' <yourfilehere> | LANG=C egrep -v 'read|write' This is the only grep I got any output from. I did an strace -Ff -s 80 -o gimp-strace.out gimp to get the 300 + meg trace.
Ahh, now your file has PIDs in it -- just run LANG=C egrep 'socket|connect' <yourfilehere> then.
Created attachment 98102 [details] grep of connect|socket Here is the output of the grep you asked for.
OK it seems that channel 3 -- which is the connection to the X server -- gets a -EPIPE upon a write. I'm not quite sure whether the real problem is on the X server side (which shouldn't just close the channel) or on the toolkit/app side (which maybe shouldn't send so much data at once or should reconnect on the -EPIPE). Mike can you please comment on this?
Don, can you reproduce this on an up2date FC2 or FC3?
Yes, I just tried on FC2 and although it takes more time to get gimp to crash, it does still crash. The first time or two that I use the magic wand, all works as expected. However it does crash after the first couple of applicatins of the magic wand. On gimp 1.?, it never even finished the first magic wand selection, so I'm not entirely sure that it is exactly the same bug. Should I do an strace like in comment 14 and 15 above?
Yes, do it like described, but attach only the last ~100k or so (should suffice) of the "unfiltered" strace output and the (complete if not too big) output of the grepped stace. Thanks. Which versions of gimp and xorg-x11 do you use?
[dchimelr@himelrick dchimelr]$ strace -Ff -s 80 -o gimp-strace.out gimp (script-fu:17647): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error [dchimelr@himelrick dchimelr]$ I got this when I ran gimp. I'll attach the strace output next.
Here are the versions.... gimp-2.0.4-0.fc2.1 xorg-x11-6.7.0-9

Can you please try this with gimp-2.0.5-0.fc2.1, available from updates-testing -- http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/2/ -- as well? Just to verify whether this problem is there in the latest pending update. Thanks.
Well, after 5 minutes of magic-wanding, it did not crash. The magic wand seems to work a little better and faster now as well. So after a quick test, it seems to be fixed in the pending update.
Good to hear that they seem to have it fixed upstream. I'll close this bug for now, if you ever encounter it again, don't hesitate to reopen it.
