Is it possible that setenv() is being called from another thread? This could end up being a huge can of worms -- all of our libraries do things like calling into gettext() from random arbitrary worker threads and gettext() calls (thread-unsafe) getenv().
In effect, it's not safe to call setenv() from any program that uses GLib, which is a bit.... scary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730183 Title: evince crashed with SIGSEGV in getenv() Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: evince Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 evince: Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu10 Candidate: 2.32.0-0ubuntu10 Version table: *** 2.32.0-0ubuntu10 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I tried opening a DVI file (I didn't even know that evince supports DVIs) and it crashed.
