Description of problem: The initial problem was discovered at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701827 ( xchm dies with signal 11 while reading the TOC of a specific document ) . Upon further research done together with the developer of xchm it was discovered that the very same issue appears with kchmviewer, another GUI built on top of chmlib Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xchm-1.19-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install xchm or kchmviewer from Fedora or Fedora EPEL ( tested on RHEL6 and Fedora 14) 2.Open the document available at http://www.springframework.net/doc-latest/reference/htmlhelp/spring-net-reference.chm 3. Watch the SIGSEGV. Actual results: Process /usr/bin/xchm was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (same occurs with kchmviewer and kchmviewer-qt ) Expected results: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=87007&atid=581688&file_id=410713&aid=3297271 Additional info: Extensive research has been done in cooperation with the developer of xchm, using the latest version ( 1.19-5 ). No obvious issue was found. There is no obvious common link between xchm and kchmviewer but the usage of chmlib.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chmlib-0.40-3 sorry for previous/wrong value. copy/paste error
It was a bug in xchm after all. Sorry for the noise
