xchm coredumps on python 3.0 b1 help file

[Roger Binns]

Binary package hint: xchm

If you tell xchm to open the help file from Python 3.0b1 then xchm coredumps. You can get the file by installing the Windows version of Python 3.0b1 in the Doc subdirectory. I have also attached a copy. Also attached is the gdb backtrace.

I have not experienced xchm crashing on any other file included the Python 3.0 alpha 5 help file.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

I could not reproduce the crash, but there is enough information included.

Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit? I am the latter so that may be the cause. I just did all my updates and the issue still happens.

[Roger Binns (ubuntu-rogerbinns)]

xchm still crashes in Intrepid. It also crashes on the Python 2.6 xchm file.

Cannot reproduce the problem xchm 2:1.21-1

What's the lowest version of Ubuntu that the problem still exists?
