+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #144580 +++ Description of problem: I have in logs now eight messages of this nature: kernel: rd-bomb[19235]: segfault at 0000002a9568b000 rip 0000000000403023 rsp 0000007fbfffeec0 error 6 Reported values are consistent with an exception of "rsp" which moves a bit. No idea if this happens on i386 or not. <snip> -- Additional comment from djuran on 2005-10-09 09:17 EST -- This seems to be fixed in xscreensaver-4.22-18 in rawhide
Created attachment 132794 [details] xscreensaver-rd-bomb-crash.patch
To reproduce the problem: 1. Get to a local console on a 64-bit machine 2. Launch "/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/rd-bomb -root" 3. See it crash The attached patch is a (simple!) backport from xscreensaver-4.22-18 and was tested as fixing the problem. Work-around is to disable the rd-bomb hack (remove the lines containing "rd-bomb" in ~/.xscreensaver, or disable them in the screensaver preferences)
