Package: rxvt
Version: 1:2.7.10-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/rxvt-xterm
If a bold font is specified then rxvt segfaults at startup.
rxvt-xterm -fb 9x15bold
=>
[ 8573.471347] rxvt[17335]: segfault at 48 ip 08050adb sp bfe62e80 error 4
in rxvt-xterm[8048000+1e000]
Segmentation fault
You can run this in the xvfb test server to be sure of a clean
environment
xvfb-run rxvt -fb 9x15bold
=> segv
I suspect any setting for the bold font provokes the problem. This
"9x15bold" is an alias by xfonts-base package in its
/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias
It's possible this worked in the past since I had a setting for it in my
.Xresources -- which now doesn't work :-)
Rxvt*boldFont: 9x15bold
gdb suggests the offending code is main.c rxvt_change_font() at
if (recheckfonts) {
r->TermWin.boldFont = NULL;
if (r->TermWin.boldFont_loaded != NULL) {
fw = rxvt_get_fontwidest(r->TermWin.boldFont_loaded);
fh = r->TermWin.boldFont_loaded->ascent
+ r->TermWin.boldFont_loaded->descent;
if (r->TermWin.mfont->ascent > r->TermWin.fascent) {
If you give a "-fb" bold font then boldFont_loaded is true. But then
r->TermWin.mfont is NULL and so the deref r->TermWin.mfont->ascent
segfaults.
I couldn't tell if mfont is supposed to be ready for use at that point.
Its setup is actually the next thing done in rxvt_change_font(), no?
