Description of problem: While having a random chat, gaim core dumps. It's been happening pretty much all of today Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gaim-1.2.1-4.fc4.i386 How reproducible: 100% crashes, but there are no good steps to reproduce. It "just happens". Now for a backtrace: #0 0x00111402 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) bt #0 0x00111402 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0x00b7a12c in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x00b7b888 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 #3 0x00373a3c in sighandler (sig=0) at main.c:368 #4 <signal handler called> #5 msn_p2p_msg (cmdproc=0x86f4328, msg=0x872d9d8) at slp.c:738 #6 0x03f3c43f in msn_cmdproc_process_msg (cmdproc=0x86f4328, msg=0x872d9d8) at cmdproc.c:248 #7 0x03f4d9ab in msg_cmd_post (cmdproc=0x86f4328, cmd=0x8722888, payload=0x0, len=0) at switchboard.c:773 #8 0x03f3c3c8 in msn_cmdproc_process_payload (cmdproc=0x86f4328, payload=0x878d292 "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: application/x-msnmsgrp2p\r\nP2P-Dest: ccharles_byte\r\n\r\n\uffffJ\210^\uffffh\202", payload_len=146) at cmdproc.c:223 #9 0x03f3ed54 in read_cb (data=0x867c4c8, source=9, cond=GAIM_INPUT_READ) at httpconn.c:422 #10 0x00344f7a in gaim_gtk_io_invoke (source=0x0, condition=G_IO_IN, data=0x867c080) at gtkeventloop.c:61 #11 0x0049a3ac in g_vasprintf () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #12 0x004743ee in g_main_context_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #13 0x004773f6 in g_main_context_check () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #14 0x004776e3 in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #15 0x008971b5 in gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #16 0x00374aed in main (argc=1, argv=0xbf87dab4) at main.c:961 Additional Info: well, MSN is running thru a socks5 proxy if that matters (in fact, so is icq, aim, yahoo!, and jabber - global proxy settings). Socks was running thru: ssh -D <port> my
How many people are in this conversation? What client(s) are being used by the other person(s)?
One conversation. The other person in general, is using MSN 7. I can repeat a coredump without gdb line #8, because sometimes, it just "crashed". Could be the fact that the network is flaky sometimes... but dumping core would be wrong I just noticed that thru a socks5 proxy, I can't seem to initiate an MSN chat either. But thats a different bug, if at all (probably a limitation with the protocol)
should be able to initate a chat by right clicking on one buddy and selecting the option, then inviting additional people.
Further information: when in Modify accounts, and I go show more options, and for MSN options when I untick Use HTTP Method, the dumps stop. That sorta makes me happy I guess...
Is this still an issue in 1.3.1?
If using HTTP method, yes crashes persist. If not, no (as per comment #4).
