I have received two reports about menuconfig's lxdialog dieing with a
segfault. In both cases it dies in the same place. I have not been
able to reproduce it on my end, making it difficult for me to fix.
I need to hear from anyone else who has been getting a segmentation fault
from lxdialog.
Specifically I'd like to know:
Kernel version
libc version
gcc version
ncurses version
If you were later able to get lxdialog to work, what if anything did you
change.
If there are any C experts (I am not) who would like to look at the
problem, lxdialog is dieing on line 312 of util.c. Here is the function
it's executing at death.
void
draw_shadow (WINDOW * win, int y, int x, int height, int width)
{
int i;
if (has_colors ()) { /* Whether terminal supports color? */
wattrset (win, shadow_attr);
wmove (win, y + height, x + 2);
for (i = 0; i < width; i++)
waddch (win, winch (win) & A_CHARTEXT); <---- DIES HERE
for (i = y + 1; i < y + height + 1; i++) {
wmove (win, i, x + width);
waddch (win, winch (win) & A_CHARTEXT);
waddch (win, winch (win) & A_CHARTEXT);
}
wnoutrefresh (win);
}
}
Thank you all for your time!
