Regina crashes running example /usr/share/doc/regina-rexx/examples/gci-try.rexx

[Dan Leitner]

My primary concern is PPwizard crashes in much the same way as the example script. The sample script is included in the regina-rexx package so it should be easy to confirm.

This problem surfaced after upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10.

dan@boss2:~$ lsb_release -r
Release: 12.04

dan@boss2:~$ apt-cache policy regina-rexx
regina-rexx:
  Installed: 3.5-4
  Candidate: 3.5-4
  Version table:
 *** 3.5-4 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I'm not sure what the output from the example should be.

Here's the output from the sample script.
dan@boss2:~$ regina /usr/share/doc/regina-rexx/examples/gci-try.rexx

I hope this is enough info to figure out the issue. If not I'm sorry and can get more info as needed.

I have downloaded the newest regina source, compiled and installed it which fixed the problem. I can only assume the bug has been fixed in the newer regina ver 3.6.

Regina Source download
http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/regina-rexx/regina-rexx/3.6/Regina-REXX-3.6.tar.gz

Of course I've uninstalled the regina-rexx and libregina3 packages prior to installing the 3.6 version.
dan@technonerd:~$ apt-cache policy regina-rexx
regina-rexx:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.5-4

dan@technonerd:~$ regina -v

I will not try to identify the problem any further.
