Description of problem:
When xdmcp is used with WRQ's ReflectionX XServer version 7.10, the KDE kdm fails to appear. The GNOME gdm will work, and launch a KDE based session, but the konsole application crashes. Examination of the corresponding source code reveals the following code fragment             for(i = 0 ; i < vrotate_num ; i++) {                 if(vrotate[i].xlfd_name)                     Xfree(vrotate[i].xlfd_name);             }  Commenting out the  Xfree(vrotate[i].xlfd_name); code, and retesting fixes the problem. At a guess, I would the item being freeded has already been deallocated or is part of another object that cannot be deallocated. More details available in attachment.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up Reflections X session on PC to Linux 7.3 host 
2.run konsole, and await KDE crashhandler. Does not take long ( less than 1 minute
 

Actual Results:  KDE Crashhandler invoked with the following traceback:
(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 1024 (LWP 1513)]

Expected Results:  Konsole should have launched with no problems.

Additional info:

Examination of the corresponding source code reveals the following code fragment
     for(i = 0 ; i < vrotate_num ; i++) {
                if(vrotate[i].xlfd_name)
                    Xfree(vrotate[i].xlfd_name);
            }

Commenting out the  Xfree(vrotate[i].xlfd_name); code, and retesting fixes the problem. At a guess, I would the item being freeded has already been deallocated or is part of another object that cannot be deallocated.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2002-05-21 07:19:10 UTC
We'll need to come up with a way of reproducing this without requiring
the special X server.  I'm also going to report this upstream to
the XFree86 project to exercise the debugging is parallelizeable theory.

Thanks for the report, data, and sample application, etc.
