Here is an untested patch *** ./gnome-spell/dictionary.c.old 2003-01-09 20:11:04.000000000 +0000 --- ./gnome-spell/dictionary.c 2003-01-09 20:11:25.000000000 +0000 *************** *** 201,207 **** GNOME_Spell_StringSeq *seq = NULL; gint i; ! g_return_if_fail (word); DICT_DEBUG (printf ("Dictionary correction: %s\n", word)); update_manager (dict, ev); --- 201,207 ---- GNOME_Spell_StringSeq *seq = NULL; gint i; ! g_return_val_if_fail( word, NULL); DICT_DEBUG (printf ("Dictionary correction: %s\n", word)); update_manager (dict, ev); Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compile program 2. 3. Additional info
That fix is bogus -- g_return_if_fail is a define that just returns in cases of failure, so you don't get an int returned in error cases so just whatever is on the stack is returned, but it's an assertion for a "never should happen" case. If you want to pursue it further, please file upstream at http://bugzilla.ximian.com.
>whatever is on the stack is returned, >but it's an assertion for a "never should happen" case. If you think it's a good idea to return random rubbish in the "should never happen" case, then there isn't much more I can sensibly say. >If you want to pursue it further, please file upstream at >http://bugzilla.ximian.com. I'll have a think about it.
