Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Reading mail in Pterodactyl Gnus, garbage collection happened. I got
the following output from gdb.
This was 100% reproducible while reading mail. This is from a build
done at 10:41 today with the latest CVS sources.
I suspect that CGG 2.95 might be at fault and will do a rebuild with
'-fno-strict-alias' active. Results as they come in.
Having tested this with 2.95, 2.95 -fno-strict-aliasing and 2.7.2.3, I
can say that:
#3 0x8138214 in x_finalize_image_instance (p=0x8d224e0) at glyphs-x.c:455
is the definite point of failure. Something is bad down here.
When I display images, regardless of the build, I get a SIGSEGV pretty
quickly. With no images, the binary has been stable and solid for a
while now. Certainly I can happily read mail in gnus and have been doing
so for half an hour now.
So, it seems that the recent image changes have a cleanup problem, at
least on Linux.
