file-roller crashed with SIGSEGV in memmove()

[Xavier Fung]

Binary package hint: file-roller

No ZIP file is made after selecting several files in Nautilus and click on "compress" in the context menu. Here are the steps:

1) Open Nautilus, and select some files to create an archive
2) Right click on the selected files and select "Compress ..."
3) A dialog box comes up asking you for the filename
4) When you go ahead, there is no ZIP file created and file-roller crashes. Nautilus does not have any issue.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

I am affected by this bug. Here is a backtrace with debugging symbols and Valgrind log. Actually, when using Valgrind, program *did not* crash and created the archive.

[Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar)]

Valgrind log.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thank you for your work, there is no crash in this valgrind log though and you lack debug symbols for glib and gtk

[Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar)]

When using Valgrind (as described in wiki), crash does not happen. Attaching a (hopefully) better backtrace.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you get a valgrind log anyway? those often workaround the crash but still list the issue

[Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar)]

Sure.
