Pan/0.141 (Tarzan's Death; 168b179 git.gnome.org/pan2) |
This is a bug report. I'm sorry if this is not the right channel for such
things - in such case let me know what I should do instead.
The bug is about Pan 0.141 consistently crashing with a segfault:
$ pan
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This happens when I close Pan while it is trying (and unable) to fetch
headers and/or articles. First time it happened I was clueless, and spent
a week trying to reinstall Pan from various packages, and even
recompiling it from sources (I thought the problem was caused by a buggy
Pan update). Then, I looked into its strace output and noticed that the
crash happens not so long after Pan accesses its ~/.pan2/tasks.nzb file.
On a hunch, I deleted this file, and Pan got fixed. Since then I know
what to do in such situations (which happens every now and then), but
still - it's a pretty nasty bug that may scare users away.
If needed, I can provide the strace file I logged, as well as the
problematic (corrupted?) tasks.nzb file.
