So far, every time I've quit X 1.8.0 (1.8-stable tip of tree), it's coredumped and left my console unusable until I restart. (I'm using the tip of the xf86-video-ati tree, and KMS, both of which worked fine with 1.7.5. Obviously I've recompiled all the drivers I'm usingt, or X wouldn't work at all...)
The backtrace differs depending on whether auditing is enabled or not. With auditing on, we are hit with a segfault here: #0 0x00007f7e06148985 in _xstat () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007f7e061198d0 in __tzfile_read () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007f7e06118c8a in tzset_internal () from /lib/libc.so.6 #3 0x00007f7e06118df9 in __tz_convert () from /lib/libc.so.6 #4 0x00007f7e06117439 in ctime () from /lib/libc.so.6 #5 0x00000000004533c8 in AuditPrefix () #6 0x0000000000453956 in VAuditF () #7 0x0000000000453add in AuditF () #8 0x000000000043e5c6 in CloseDownClient () #9 0x0000000000443af8 in Dispatch () #10 0x0000000000420dc5 in main () With it off, I see this instead: Program received signal SIGTERM, Terminated. 0x000000000042904c in FreeClientResources () (gdb) bt #0 0x000000000042904c in FreeClientResources () #1 0x000000000043e4c2 in CloseDownClient () #2 0x0000000000443af8 in Dispatch () #3 0x0000000000420dc5 in main () which might look like normal termination, except that FreeClientResources() of course does not contain an exit(), and the console is still unusable. I suspect a double-free() somewhere, and/or heap corruption. I'll kick on malloc() debugging and look more closely (assuming that works: in my experience it often introduces more problems than you might wish for). _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
