Bug#422133: context: segfault in texshow (Perl-tk)
Package: context
Version: 2007.04.17-1
Severity: important
Hi, I'm running context from unstable on etch with TL 2007 backport.
texshow gives:
$ texshow
TeXShow-XML 0.3 beta / Taco Hoekwater 2006
interface : cont-en
status : searching for setup files
status : loading setups
status : loading 'cont-cz' took 0.026632 seconds
status : loading 'cont-de' took 0.026751 seconds
status : loading 'cont-fr' took 0.026659 seconds
status : loading 'cont-it' took 0.027332 seconds
status : loading 'cont-nl' took 0.026058 seconds
status : loading 'cont-ro' took 0.193569 seconds
status : loading 'cont-en' took 0.025944 seconds
status : initializing display
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0883abbc ***
$
This might be a bug in Perl-tk or some other compiled Perl module.
However, I don't know and context is the package in which I encountered
it...
Regards, Frank
