Every now and then I find a core file produced by gam_server in my home dir. Haven't noticed what causes it. Backtrace attached in case it's useful anyway. This is gamin-0.0.19-1.FC3 from updates-testing, but I think I've seen it with earlier versions too.

Okay, thanks. In gam_tree_get_children if tree and root are NULL then the code would segfault. Fixed in CVS, thanks, Daniel
Nice, thanks. Would it be possible to get a FC3 erratum for this? By the way, I believe the app that I've seen most of these gamin segfaults resulting from is kid3 from (pre-)Extras, using KDE on FC3.
Created attachment 111233 [details] Another gam_server gdb backtrace I'm not sure if this is the same problem (the backtrace looks different), but gamin-0.0.24-1.FC3 is even worse than the earlier versions. Now, launching seemingly *any* KDE app remotely causes a gam_server crash. Like: $ ssh somewhere $ kiconedit kbuildsycoca running... [exit app, wait a while] $ Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 5750, errno = 0 ** ERROR **: file gam_tree.c: line 146 (gam_tree_remove): assertion failed: (g_node_n_children(node->node) == 0) aborting... Backtrace attached.
Backtrace is not especially usful, get a debug trace from the gam_server with kill -USR2 c.f. instructions at http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/debug.html#Debugging1 Daniel
Created attachment 111238 [details] gam_server debug trace Here you go.
gamin-0.0.25-1.FC3 still has the problem.
problem on #4 is a duplicate of #150471, which is fixed in rawhide now. Daniel
Confirmed, 0.0.26-1 rebuilt on FC3 seems to be ok. May I suggest a FC3 errata for this?
I will give it a few days in rawhide and then push an errata, yes. It's being pushed to Mandrake Cooker and Ubuntu too so I think within a week I will get any regression feedback. Daniel
Well it's been a month and it hasn't been pushed to FC3 yet. Could an 0.0.26 errata be pushed to FC3 please ? This thing lays core files on all my FC3 systems almos on a daily basis. Thanks.
