Public bug reported:
Dear developers,
When any kind of session (race, qualifying, practice) ends at selected tracks,
torcs crashes. It is perfectly reproducible, and happens regardless of robots
and torcs version. I have tested it with the repository version of torcs 1.2.4,
self compiled 1.3.0 (with several flags) and pre-compiled torcs 1.3.0. The
tracks that crash are:
e-track 2
e-track 3
e-road
michigan (from 1.3.0)
My hardware is a Pentium-M Dell laptop with an ATi Mobility 9600
graphics card. The crash disappears as soon as I uninstall fglrx (the
latest version in Feisty's repostitory) and use r300. For the sake of
testing, I installed the drivers available in AMD's website (version
8.37.6) and they also crash. This bug also happens in Debian, and it is
reported as an RC bug holding torcs 1.3.0 from testing. The Debian bug
is #428038.
I will post later the full gdb error log. For now, the error message one
gets in the terminal is
<<< /usr/local/lib/torcs/modules/simu/simuv2.so unloaded <<<
*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/lib/torcs/torcs-bin: free(): invalid pointer:
0x08059cc0 ***
Thanks for your help,
Miguel
PS: A curious thing is that when using fglrx, even the "results only"
practice mode (without graphics) runs like 4 times slower than it does
with r300.
