Bug#361924: xdm: segfaults at login also



Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.1-6

Hi,

xdm behaves this way every time I try to initiate a session with
it. While everything worked fine with the 6.9.0 series of xdm for me,
I now encounter the following behavior:

  It starts, I can enter my username and password. After entering the
  password and pressing enter, xdm dissapears and presents me the
  login window again after some seconds.

I have tried purging and reinstalling xdm, just in case some of the
broken configuration files from the first upload of 1:1.0.1 are
causing this, but it seems that all session initialization files are
ok. (spawning using Xsession works with wdm).

There are no errors in /var/log/xdm.log nor in ~/.xsession-errors
(which stays empty, indicating that it even does not come that far).

Instead, I get the same segmentation fault message in my
/var/log/syslog:

May 12 14:13:30 marx kernel: xdm[10058]: segfault at 0000000000000000
rip 000000000040a8c0 rsp 00007fffff883df8 error 4

This is happening on the AMD64 architecture.

Regards,
        René
