Hi,
I couldn't reproduce the bug. I tried copying things without success. I
forward your email upstream. Jeffrey, do you have any clue ? Do you
think it is a Debian-specific problem ?
The latest debian update was about switching to x-org libs. Could the
problem come from this ?
I was unable to reproduce the problem either (on FreeBSD). Tried a
bunch of cut/paste/copy
operations and everything worked fine. The stack trace is not too
useful either. It looks like
it was in the midst of exeuting executing Tcl code, so either there is a
problem in Tcl or
tkgate stompped on memory used by Tcl. I do see that it was calling
TkInvokeMenu. I am
assuming that this is an internal Tcl/Tk function called when executing
a command from a menu
so we can guess that perhaps he was doing the copy operations through
the menu rather than
through key commands. Can you ask him:
* Did you do copy/cut/paste through the menu or through key commands?
* Can you try it both ways?
* How many copy/cut/paste commands do you need to do before invoking
a core dump?
Jeff
