From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: /net/p2 is NFS mounted on another computer using am-utils. Use the "File => Save as..." menu to images opened in NFS auto-mounted directories (no need to do any editing to the image). ----------- [itai@itai ~]$ gimp /net/p2/big/itai-itai/Canon/2005-01-15_40/img_8469.jpg *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0a7dbf40 *** gimp: terminated: Aborted ------------ Gimp then aborts and all changes to images are lost. It worked OK when I used the /.automount/ name: gimp /.automount/p2/root/big/itai-itai/Canon/2005-01-15_40/img_8469.jpg so the problem may be relaed to having symbolic links in path names. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gimp-2.2.2-0.fc3.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See description Actual Results: Gimp aborts and all changes to images are lost. Expected Results: File save-as dialog box should appear Additional info: I don't know if this should be a separate feature request! There must be a text-field in file dialog boxes, It is required if a directory in the path is not readable, for auto-mounted directories or for network files (eg., accessed using HTTP). And off-couse, to be able to copy and paste path names with other applications. (I was happy with the file dialogs in gimp-2.0.x).
Hmm, an application shouldn't behave differently when accessing a file over symlinks instead of directly. Can you run gimp please with enabled core files, i.e. run "ulimit -c unlimited" in the same shell before running gimp? It should then dump a core file (named "core.<pid>" where <pid> is the process ID of the process that dumped the file) which would help in debugging the error. Mind that there's an update on the way (gimp-2.2.2-0.fc3.3) with fixes not related to your problem. Please state whether you used -0.fc3.2 or -0.fc3.3 when generating the core file.

There is a similar problem with other programs. I changed the component to gtk2. Installed components that may have effect on problem are: gimp-2.2.2-0.fc3.2 gtk2-2.4.14-2.fc3 glib-1.2.10-15 glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3
Is there anything that I can do to promote fixing this bug? If there are plans for switching to gtk-2.6.x I would be happy to try it. I's prefer using binary RPMs and not compile it myself. Thanks!
I have compiled and installed gtk+-2.6.2. That fixes he problem.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
