WinXP - 0.46dev+devel: Crash on opening files (segmentation fault in msvcrt!_HUGE ())
Hi,
in nightly builds (for example 24th of December 2007 and previous) Inkscape almost always crashes when I want to open or import some file. I have filled a simillar bug report, but with segmentation fault in wxvault.dll (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/177618), but it turned out to be connected to EMBASSY software that ships with some DELL computers...
Anyway, after uninstalling the software, the program is still crashing, but this time with the segmentation fault in msvcrt!_HUGE(). On my laptop this happens when I want to open or import some file. I click on button, and the program crashes. I can almost always reproduce this crash on my laptop, but some people said that they can not reproduce it (see the bug report).
Any ideas what could be wrong here?
Thanks, and just wanted to say that 0.46 will be just amazing :) This is a brilliant software.

Could you get gdb to print the backtrace before you quit it (I believe the command is just "bt")? The backtrace is the potentially useful part.

If I print the backtrace I get the same:

I don't know if someone was "digging" a bit more into this problem. However, with the recent builds the program still crashes, but I've found out the case in which it crashes on my laptop. I believe that it happens only if you have some items in "places" (left side of the window) that you added by yourself (I think Windows users would call them Favorites).
Steps to reproduce (we're talking about WinXP32) 1. Run Inkscape 2. Open the file choose (CTRL+O) 3. Click few times on different folders that you added to "Places" manually 4. After few clicks the Inkscape should crash (at least it does in my case)
Note that it doesn't crash if you click on "predefined" folders. In my case these are - Recently used - c:\documens and settings<username> - hard disks and CD/DVD roms
I must say that I really like the way that GTK handles these "favorites". One of the things why I really like this file chooser (though it could show a bit more information about the file, at least size).
It is interesting that the File Chooser in Gimp 2.4.3 on WinXP looks the same as the one in the nightly builds of Inkscape (I don't know about the GTK versions that each uses), but it doesn't crash in cases described above.
Any ideas about what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance.

One more thing about this issue.
This is obviously not reproducible. I tried on some other PC and it didn't crash.
However, I've found out that it crashes only when path for "shortcuts" in places contain some "weird" characters, like "×" for example. Furthermore, it also crashes if I select a file with "weird"characters, but only in that certain folder. If I copy "problematic" files and folders to new base folder, everything works ok. For example, the problematic folder structure is as follows:
c:\Xxxx\Xxx\Xxxxxxxx\XX_Xxxxxx\Xxxxxx xxxxxx #×### xX\xxx\
where "X" stands for capital letter (striclty "english" characters), "x" for small letter (striclty "english" characters), and "#" for a numerical character.
So, if i copy everything (folders and files), so that the folder structure is as follows (notice added "#" in "4th" folder):
c:\Xxxx\Xxx\Xxxxxxxx\XX_Xxxxxx#\Xxxxxx xxxxxx #×### xX\xxx\
everything works OK.
So, this is obviously an issue only on this certain laptop and on this certain folder.
However, it would be interesting if someone can explain why this happens, but I believe this is most probably not an Inkscape problem.
Thanks anyway,
Rok

One more update.
The problem was solved by manually removing "problematic" path from "recent" in "preferences.xml".
