Public bug reported:
$lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
Package information: I don't know which package exactly but I'm
suspecting it's python related.
My observation: When I have a text file open in gedit, after a while, when I
was working on other things, I notice that gedit crashed. No error messages is
given and it's "random", meaning that it does not happen when I actually do
something - open, save, close, etc - with gedit. Similar pattern is observed
with pidgin as well. But, gedit crashes were way more frequent than that of
pidgin. Then I noticed in log files "segfault" lines indicating the crashes of
gedit, pidgin and others. I'm suspecting it's python related since those
softwares utilize python.
Below is the list of all other software that had segfault entry in log. The
number indicates the number of "segfault" occurence per software.
$ zcat /var/log/*.gz | grep -i "segfault" | perl -n -e '/\] (.*)\[/;
print $1;print "\n";' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
96 gedit
14 nautilus
13 lat_mem_rd
7 pidgin
6 python
2 VirtualBox
2 metacity
Do you aggree this is python problem?
