------- Comment #34 from mvidner@xxxxxxxxxx  2007-04-10 10:20 MST -------
<mvidner> the invalid write at the beginning is worth debugging
<HuHa> IIRC that is one of the cases where Qt / Xlib simply copies 8 bytes
where only 4 are initialized
<HuHa> not really intuitive, but it happens
<HuHa> and since it happens in either case, I can't see a connection with that
segfault
<mvidner> are you sure? ok if that is so then it is probably unrelated
<mvidner> i thought that it was overwriting a random memory location
<HuHa> IIRC it's the read address where some bytes were never written to
<HuHa> not an invalid write address
<HuHa> I could be wrong there, though
<HuHa> but that's one of the cases we had investigated further a long time ago
<mvidner> hm, seems to make sense, "Syscall param writev(vector[...]) points to
uninitialised byte(s)"
<HuHa> right
<mvidner> ok, i will apply more gdb tortu^Winvestigation

meanwhile, valgrind refuses to start gdb, grrr.
