It’s a mystery!

January 4th, 2007

I have a very troublesome crasher in gnome-theme-manager right now. I would really appreciate if anyone could look over it with fresh eyes, as I still can’t figure it out. I have traced it back to something in gnome-theme-info.c, as somehow junk is getting put in the hash table of icon themes, but I can’t find out why or how.

The bug report is

here, and it is fairly easy to reproduce.

Please please, someone help me solve this mystery!

    I have been trying valgrind this morning, but I’m not expert and there doesn’t appear to be anything obvious going on.

    Thomas, mail me the log, and I’ll give a little look at it ! Valgrind is a really helpful tool. Use

    valgrind –tool=memcheck –error-limit=no gnome-theme-manager 2>&1 val.log to get everything about memory problems.
