https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=272915 ------- Comment #1 from burnus@gmx.de 2007-05-09 13:39 MST ------- More details: + char* lang = getenv ("LANG"); This returns a pointer to the environment variable itself, which is then truncated: + lang[2] = '\0'; This is wrong as $LANG is later needed (e.g. for wxt) and also not recommended use of getenv according the POSIX standard: "The getenv() function shall search the environment of the calling process for the environment variable name if it exists and return a pointer to the value of the environment variable. [...] If the application modifies environ or the pointers to which it points, the behavior of getenv() is undefined. [...] The string pointed to may be overwritten by a subsequent call to getenv(), setenv(), or unsetenv(), but shall not be overwritten by a call to any other function in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001." The full patch is: +#ifdef __linux__ + if (!getenv("GNUHELP")) { + char* lang = getenv ("LANG"); + if (lang) { + char hfile[64]; + struct stat buf; + + if (strlen(lang) > 2) + lang[2] = '\0'; + strcpy(hfile, "/usr/share/gnuplot/4.0/gnuplot-"); + strcat(hfile, lang); + strcat(hfile, ".gih"); + if (stat(hfile, &buf) == 0) + setenv("GNUHELP", strdup(hfile), 0); + } + } +#endif + Next question is why it hangs with FVWM. (Werner Fink wrote in bug 266693: "Next point is that the wxt window can not be closed by mouse button during a gnuplot session at least within fvwm2"). I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be a local problem too.
