If you were a paid programmer, then it should be much easier to debug this issue ;)
I used BorlandC and other tools for that other operating system. Not Linux. I'm not familiar with the Linux programming environment. I never really tried :-)
Sure, but it's all the same ;) The more things change, the more they stay the same is not just a saying. I also actually started with Borland Turbo C 2.0 back in the day with 16-bit registers and funny memory models.

Now what?
Can you look in the log what valgrind has logged for one of these things? It would be great if you can attach one of the coredumps from valgrind AND the log it created in the journal. valgrind logs will be with a procid prepended to all entries on all lines in the log so you can map the errors from the journal to the event. By default, it seems the journal is only stored per user IF you have created /var/log/journal directory.... otherwise the journal is not persistent and not per user. If you have this directory, you can look do, journalctl --user and then grep for valgrind and the specific procid of the coredump. Compress that and attach to the bug. If you don't have persistent logs (because /var/log/journal was never created), you have to look in the system journal with `sudo journalctl` and also grep for valgrind and the specific procid.
My hunch is you have some file on your system that looks or is like a media file that is then crashing this program.
One hunch is that it is working on tiff files, and those are system files, not mine. Another hunch is that it is working on photo files, of which I have thousands.
Yes, and it would be very helpful to find which one is breaking it ;) That would be the reproducer. My guess is this is not a system file that is causing it or we would see a lot more reports. - Adam
