dapper drake gaim crashes on start.

[earobinson]

I get this msg when I try to start gaim:
Gaim has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
This is a bug in the software and has happened through
no fault of your own.

It is possible that this bug is already fixed in CVS.
If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the gaim
maintainers by reporting a bug at
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/bug.php

Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time,
and post the backtrace from the core file. If you do not know
how to get the backtrace, please get instructions at
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php. If you need further
assistance, please IM either SeanEgn or LSchiere and
they can help you.
Aborted

Thanks

It seems to be that If I dont load one of my msn lists it is fine it is only one msn list that causes the crash

[Luka Napotnik (luka-napotnik)]

I can confirm this bug. The same thing for me with gaim cvs

[François Tissandier (baloo)]

Confirmed here also. Only on MSN, ICQ and Yahoo are working fine.

[Luka Napotnik (luka-napotnik)]

Found a solution (if your'e building from source)
(worked for me)
Insert:
if (strcmp(a_norm, b_norm) == 0) {
                 g_free(a_norm);
                 g_free(b_norm);
                return 0;
        }
in function:
int gaim_utf8_strcasecmp(const char *a, const char *b)
in file src/util.c, just before ret = g_utf8_collate(a_norm, b_norm);

[Jean-Philippe (skateinmars)]

I have the same problem. Does Dapper use the 2nd version?

[earobinson (earobinson)]

Im not sure but the problem has been fixed (at least for me)

[earobinson (earobinson)]

Did another dapper update and this bug is back lol.

[Curtis Delicata (curtis)]

Both versions seem to randomly crash for me, I'm just going to try the latest CVS though.

[Kevin Lamontagne (kevinlamontagne)]

I already reported this bug. It was traced as a glib bug.

[earobinson (earobinson)]

Anyone know whats happining I still have this bug

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

not a gaim bug

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

It's a duplicate #28640 which is libc issue fixed now

[Jose Vitor Lopes e Silva (josevitor)]

Plugin is the problem!

Here works without plugins
