[Gnash-dev] segfault by launching fb-gnash

[Gabriele Mondada]

Hello,
On debian squeeze i686, gnash 0.8.9 from tarball, with:

./configure --prefix=/usr/xxx --disable-menus --enable-renderer=agg 
--enable-gui=fb --disable-plugins --disable-sound --enable-media=none 
--enable-input=touchscreen

I got segmentation fault by launching fb-gnash. Here is the backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb76fbf85 in std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, 
std::allocator<char> >::basic_string(std::string const&) () from 
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
(gdb) bt

#5  0x08064327 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffffce4) at ../gnash.cpp:98

By removing pretty all options in getSupportedOptions(), except "input-file", 
there is no more segfault but an other error:

Error: Non-existent media handler  specified

Maybe due to --enable-media=none

Workaround: remove the following lines in Player.cpp:

    if (!_mediaHandler.get()) {
        boost::format fmt =
            boost::format(_("Non-existent media handler %1% specified"))
            % _media;
        throw GnashException(fmt.str());
    }

What can I do to help fixing this in the main-line?
