gschem ,gaf crashes when local gafrc adds to many symbols

[jt_eaton]

create a directory with a gafrc file to add symbol search libraries. This will work for smple cases but if you add enough symbols then it crashes with a munged display and this log:

gEDA/gschem version 1.9.0.20121203

Read init scm file [/home/johne/geda/share/gEDA/scheme/gschem.scm]

Loading schematic [/home/johne/Desktop/drawing/./sch/um-100_cde_sram_def_sym.sch]
Tried to set the sensitivity on non-existent menu item '_Edit/Cu_t'
Tried to set the sensitivity on non-existent menu item '_Edit/_Copy'
Tried to set the sensitivity on non-existent menu item '_Edit/_Delete'
Tried to set the sensitivity on non-existent menu item '_Edit/Copy Mode'

Behavior varies based on how many syms and libs are in search path. I have even seen it alternate where it works one time and fails the next with the same command line.

I've seen this too, but I wasn't sure if it was just my setup. Reliably reproducing it is difficult. What version of Guile are you using?

Also, it happens to me without adding any symbols at all, so I'm not sure that your diagnosis is quite right...

I have been doing some more testing and I think that you are right. I ran
the same command
over and over and randomly it will either work, load schematic but not find
symbol or show a
munged display in black and white with the symbol body. In my initial tests
I would change
the list of symbols loaded and then tested it once so that was a mistake.

I think I am using guile 1.8.0. I will recheck and let you know if that is
not the case.
