[root@dhcp-206 RPMS]# LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 strace -f ooffice 2> test.log [ Process PID=15391 runs in 32 bit mode. ] Segmentation fault [root@dhcp-206 RPMS]# rpm -q openoffice.org-core openoffice.org-core-1.9.92-2 Additional Info: Seems it is still running fine tho.
I don't really understand, OOo runs fine, but crashes when run under strace ?. or always with or without strace something reports a segv but the main OOo gui continues working, e.g. like a program spawned off by OOo ? Or it runs fine unless the LANG is ja_JP ?
1. Yes Ooo run fines but crashes in strace 2. strace report segv, without strace it is fine. I think because I specify -f to trace the child processes 3. it is non-locale specific. sorry for the confusion.
not currently reproducable under i386
I don't have a x86_64 box, can you verify if a) this is still the case, and if so if b) it doesn't happen on stracing a random i386 binary under x86_64
you know, I really really doubt this is OOo specific, so I'm going to close it. I'd suspect that it's something generic with 32bit apps on 64bit platform either due to strace or due to some kernel issue.
