Public bug reported:
I linked an application (gshchem, part of the Ubuntu package geda-
gschem), against electric fence whilst doing development work on it.
Electric-fence doesn't get into the application code due to some problem
it has detected with GTK its-self.
A gut feeling I had was to try and reporoduce it with a program I've
seen crash recently, which was evolution. This also crashes in a very
similar way. gtk-demo doesn't crash.
Back-traces attached soon.
For evolution, to reproduce:
apt-get install electric-fence
sudo bash -l
(as root)
ulimit -c unlimited
sudo -u me bash -l
(as my user)
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libefence.so evolution
then:
gdb --core=core evolution
to get the backtrace (had to install some -dbgsym packages of course).
For gschem, I built with its configure option to link directly against
electric-fence.
Seems like the crashes have loading icons / themes in common.
