Segmentation fault occurs only under Debian Linux
It just occurred to me that this list might a place to ask... My smtm
program (a small stock portfolio tool written Perl/Tk) received bug report
#55395 on a seg.fault when adding or deleting stocks, or rather when closing
the respective windows. Details are in the bug report. Now, because I
i) received confirmation that the seg fault never occured under Solaris,
HP-UX, FreeBSD, Windoze, and worse, SuSE or RedHat Linux (!!)
ii) was able to circumvent the seg.fault by commenting out the destroy()
command
I have reassigned the bug to the perl-tk package, but haven't heard back from
Stephen. I also tried to address it by grabbing the sources, applying the
Debian patch to a newer upstream tarball, and removing -O2 -g switches from
debian/rules.
No luck -- so I am at a loss here. Any Perl wizards out here who could
supply some new ideas?
Thanks for any pointers, Dirk
