Bug#343313: Maybe also related to #328421
I've heard about such crashes related to scim as well.
The original reporter mentioned #342198 [1] in scim, which is a bug
caused by the libstdc++ allocator transition. But as it's reported in
testing and scim 1.0.2-3, it looks to me more related to
#328421/#323216 [2,3], which is about the libstdc++ SONAME transition.
In both cases, though, the source of the problem should be the same,
i.e., libstdc++ has unversioned weak symbols. This is known both by
upstream and the Debian GCC maintainers, and seems won't be fixed
upstream until at earliest GCC 4.2. This is also mentioned by SDiZ
Cheng in #343060 [4].
scim 1.4.2-1 and friends should be entering testing soon, so this
problem will be covered up. As the scim maintainer, I agree with
Matthias Klose that adding Conflicts in libstdc++6 is not a very good
idea. As the workaround of setting GTK_IM_MODULE="xim" exists, it
probably should just be well documented.
