[Bug 225623] New: "yast2 sysconfig" dies from 'St9bad_alloc'
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225623 Summary: "yast2 sysconfig" dies from 'St9bad_alloc' Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: neutrinoparticles@hotmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I'm using the x86_64 edition of openSUSE 10.2 RC1. I'm using an AMD64 system. When running "yast2 sysconfig" the output is: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'St9bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_alloc /sbin/yast2: line 274: 4207 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" "$Y2_GEOMETRY" $Y2QT_ARGS When running "yast2 sw_single" the output is: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_alloc /sbin/yast2: line 274: 4674 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" "$Y2_GEOMETRY" $Y2QT_ARGS This happens frequently in the Sysconfig utility and occasionally, the Software Management utility. I can sometimes reproduce it by going into Sysconfig, opening any category, for example "Applications" then "ispell" and quickly highlighting each option over and over with the cursor. Sometimes sw_single will just crash with that error message without any user action. I thought it could be a memory problem, so I ran memtest, and it had zero errors. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

From that backtrace I am pretty sure that you cannot be sure about anything. The failed allocation can come either from bogus allocation size, which seems very unlikely given that it's trying to allocate a copy of a hardcoded string, or it is a heap corruption coming from who knows where. Valgrind will come handy here. I myself cannot reproduce any problem.

There are no debug packages, because the debug repository isn't up yet. I compiled MythTV on it and got the same error when trying to run mythfrontend.
That's a really important detail. This confirms that this is below the yast2-qt layers -- in libqt or even deeper. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I did install valgrind with the debug packages . . . with no results. Under valgrind, using the suggested commands above, "yast2 sw_single" as well as "yast2 sysconfig" would continue to run without the error I described. I am not able to do any more testing, as I have switched to MythDora for my video recording. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
