In places where they are passed as pointers-to-pointers, the API requires that the pointer value be NULL, e.g. GError *error = NULL; While I was figuring out bnc#757655, I tried starting gnome-shell --replace and it crashed nearly immediately. The problem was a crash in vsprintf on a buffer at address 0x4545454545454545, which is the _MALLOC_PERTURB=69 effect. In nearly every case, libnm correctly initializes GError pointers but there were several places it was not - including the one I hit. I've already developed the fix and will attach the patch after I update it with the bnc. -- 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.
