Description of problem: The gnome_segv program should check that the aborted application was not bug-buddy before spawning bug-buddy. If bug-buddy aborts on start-up, GNOME starts to repeatedly spawn new bug-buddy instances until you run out of memory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libgnomeui-2.15.91-1.fc6 How reproducible: If you can coax bug-buddy into aborting on startup, always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ export G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings 2. $ bug-buddy --package=gnome-terminal (any package name will do) Actual results: At least with the version I'm running (2.15.92), bug-buddy will produce some spurious warning about not being able to load an icon. The warning will cause bug-buddy to abort (due to the G_DEBUG setting), which will spawn bug-buddy, which will produce the same warning, which will cause bug-buddy to abort, which will spawn bug-buddy... and so on. Expected results: The gnome_segv program should give up if bug-buddy itself crashes. Additional info: Already filed this upstream, along with a patch: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353760
nice. Wil you put that patch in rawhide, Matt ?
Done. Fixed in libgnomeui-2.15.91-2.fc6.
