I'm pretty sure that is actually the case. I know that I got a compilation error at first on Ubuntu because I had forgotten to install the development headers from the git sources. Compiling against the 1.8.0 headers in the 14.04 repositories gave me an error related to either VD_AGENT_CLIPBOARD_MAX_SIZE_DEFAULT or VD_AGENT_CLIPBOARD_MAX_SIZE_ENV, I forget which exactly. This symbol is in /usr/include/spice-1/spice/vd_agent.h. If I'm looking at this correctly, wouldn't something like this cause the problem?
In case I'm wrong, there is no debug spice-server library available on Ubuntu 14.04 anyway. So, in order to compile one, would it be as easy as `CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g" make`, or something a little more intricate? I've done simple compilations of programs I've written myself using `g++ -lm main.cpp -o my_program,` but that's about the extent of it. I can usually get configure scripts to work with me, but when it comes to Automake I'm completely lost.On Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 3:14 AM, Christophe Fergeau <cfergeau@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Unless the segfault was caused by a new symbol available in 1.9.0, but
not present in 1.8.0, this should not be happening. This could be a bug
in spice-server that was fixed in the new version, in which case it
would be good that ubuntu is aware about it so that they can fix it in
their package.
