hi, Today I tried fontconfig 2.4 brance, and applied my patch(see attachment). Most of apps run fine, but gnome-terminal crashed. (gdb) r Starting program: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1225836880 (LWP 6709)] *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/gnome-terminal: corrupted double-linked list: 0x08151030 *** [snip...] (gdb) bt #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb701549d in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0xb7016ab3 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 #3 0xb704850b in __fsetlocking () from /lib/libc.so.6 #4 0xb704de7c in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/libc.so.6 #5 0xb704e013 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/libc.so.6 #6 0xb704ebbb in free () from /lib/libc.so.6 #7 0xb70500ad in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.6 #8 0xb6fd957e in XcursorImageCreate () from /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 #9 0xb6fd9e0b in XcursorCommentsDestroy () from /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 #10 0xb6fd9f93 in XcursorXcFileLoadImages () from /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 #11 0xb6fda90a in XcursorFileLoadImages () from /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 #12 0xb6fdb5eb in XcursorLibraryLoadImages () from /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 #13 0xb6fdb80e in XcursorShapeLoadImages () from /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 #14 0xb6fdb989 in XcursorTryShapeCursor () from /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 #15 0xb774d067 in XCreateGlyphCursor () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 #16 0xb774d4e3 in XCreateFontCursor () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 #17 0xb78ee478 in gdk_cursor_new_for_display () Obviously memory got corrupted, but I don't know who cause this, vte, pango, fontconfig or my patch, I'll try remove my patch and see what happens tomorrow. ps. It seems fontconfig runs faster now. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
