Darkradiant crashes.

[CorwinWeber]

Mentioned this in another thread, but it's getting worse and I have at least a little more information now. I'm noticing sporadic crashing out of the program entirely. Prior to today, this mostly happened when I tried to load a new map from already having one loaded. (Never from the blank start, always when I already had a map loaded and switched to another.) Today, I've seen it crash when I tried to start a new map, and oddly enough sometimes when I click 'undo.' Checked my logs, there's nothing in darkradiant.log that I can see, but /var/log/messages has an entry from kernel referencing darkradiant complaining about a general protection ip: <some of what looks like hex addresses> error:0 in undo.so[more hex.]

 

I'll give my usual disclaimers.... my system would make Dr. Frankenstein scratch his head and say 'Mein Herr, zat's messed oop...' so it could be just me, has anyone else seen anything like this? I'm running the current version from the repository, Ubuntu Karmic amd64.

Well, I definitely need more precise instructions on how to reproduce the issue. Until then I can't do anything about it, at least a stacktrace would be nice.

If you're on Linux it should be very easy to run DarkRadiant in a debugger, to get a stacktrace.

 

From the terminal, run

 

$ gdb /usr/bin/darkradiant

 

then at the (gdb) command prompt enter "run". If the application subsequently crashes, go back to the (gdb) terminal and enter "bt" to get a stacktrace.
