Description Sammy 2005-12-26 16:04:32 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051216 Fedora/1.5-3 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
When running man command iconv is segfaulting in nroff script. For example
if I try execute the command on manpage of man command:

# nroff -mandoc man.1
/usr/bin/nroff: line 69: 17905 Done                    /usr/bin/iconv -f ${charset_in} -t utf-8 ${TMPFILE}
     17906                       | /usr/bin/groff -mtty-char -Tutf8 $opts 2>/dev/null
     17907 Segmentation fault      | /usr/bin/iconv -f utf-8 -t ${charset_out}//translit

The same command just outputs the formatted man page when working.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-common-2.3.90-22

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to latest rawhide
2. Get a uncompressed man page of something
3. execute nroff -mandoc something.1

Can't reproduce, so you need to provide more details.
What locale are you using (say output from locale command is good enough),
what exact man page you can reproduce it on (attach to the bug report).

Comment 2 Sammy 2005-12-27 09:44:50 EST

Hi,

Below is the output of locale. This happens on every man page.
Also, I am on x86_64. Also, my /etc/sysconfig/i18n file:

LANG="en_US"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"

=============================================================
$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"

LC_NAME="en_US"

Comment 4 Sammy 2005-12-27 09:53:15 EST

OK...playing around found that the following fixes it:

# cat i18n
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

I had changed this at some point to some other bug BUT I don't think iconv
should segfault with the above.

Comment 6 Ulrich Drepper 2005-12-28 19:48:04 EST

Should be fixed in the next rawhide release by

2005-12-27  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

        * iconv/gconv_trans.c (__gconv_transliterate): Demangle step __fct
        before calling it.

Comment 7 Robert Scheck 2005-12-29 17:30:18 EST

Okay, glibc-2.3.90-23 (built from Fedora CVS) just works for me - at least my 
bug reported in #176583 disappeared now.

Comment 8 Jakub Jelinek 2006-01-03 02:45:45 EST

Today's rawhide will include glibc-2.3.90-25.
