Public bug reported: Hi,
since I've upgraded from 16.04 to 16.10, the zsh crashes quite often with a segmentation fault. I've noticed that this occurs not always, but if, then always in these two cases: - calling ls (in my case an alias for ls -F and thus the internal ls function) - using file name completion which both are related to opening directories and reading their contents. I've done a strace, which seems to confirm this (crashing within ls): ... 6781 open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 6781 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=806, ...}) = 0 6781 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 6781 --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=0} --- 6781 +++ killed by SIGSEGV (core dumped) +++ which again implies problems pretty close to opening directories. regards ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: zsh 5.2-5ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-43.63-generic 4.4.21 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-43-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zunicode zcommon znvpair zavl ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Tue Oct 18 14:31:18 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-22 (178 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420) SourcePackage: zsh UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to yakkety on 2016-10-17 (1 days ago) ** Affects: zsh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug yakkety -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634488 Title: zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) sudo -i To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsh/+bug/1634488/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
