Fvwm has a habit of crashing on me right after I exit full-screen gqview. I'm
using the 2002/08/25 CVS snapshot (right before Dominik's codefest) but I
think the problem probably still exists in current CVS. The bug is difficult
to reproduce (except when I'm not trying to reproduce it ;-P).
I took the core file into gdb and it pointed at a line in Flocale.c:
void FlocaleFreeNameProperty(FlocaleNameString *ptext)
{
if (ptext->name_list != NULL)
{
>> if (ptext->name != NULL && ptext->name != *ptext->name_list)
It seems that, at some point, ptext->name_list is not NULL, but does not point
anywhere valid either. I was able to find two spots, both in events.c, where
name_list might not be properly initialized. The attached patch fixes that.
I'm not positive that this is the fix for the core dump, but no more crashes
as yet!
