Does Hebrew use a dot or a comma or something else as a decimal separator?

I have seen scripting errors that showed up in french and german locales where 10.5 is written as 10,5 for example.

I'm thinking this one might be a little different. We've had problems in the past with things like the filesystem and the OS being in different encodings. Before with our scripting everything was executed through the shell, so it might have hidden some additional bugs that we had there. Now we're being a little more direct.

Actually, multibyte encoding can cause segfaults. Since there can be 0's in either the left or right positions, software that is not careful can possibly encounter a null when it least expects it.

no, crashes with "microsoft visual c++ runtime error", then "encountered an internal error and will close now"

tested http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32-snap/inkscape-0710081000.7z

I tried the lorem ipsum effect it under vista business.

I also got this "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" Error: "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please Contact the application's support team for more information"

There is also a inscape window with "Lorem ipsum working please wait"

I click ok in the error box,

An then

"Inkcape encountered an internal error and will now close"

Is shown.

Then windows shuts inkscape down.

Cheers,

Same here on Win XP sp2.

Inkscape0710041921 and all previous version after the introduction of live preview crash with "microsoft C++ runtime error" and "encountered an internal error and will close now"when using scripts.

Also tested on Vista (Home Basic and Home Premium) with same results.

Aaron, I thought that scripts were working for you?

Sorry missed this one. Yes scripts are indeed working for me.

Built with my own two hands on september 23. (Is that recent enough?) Or at least I think they are working for me. I just fractalized a path using the effects menu. Does that count?

So looks like the most important difference between working and crashing is that you built yourself and I took a build from modevia. Probably some different libs are being used.

I'm using the libs bundle from http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/gtk210-070819-3.7z but I do simply unzip it over the top each time a new bundle comes out. So it coudl be that we are missing some file in the bundle. I could do a test sometime to see if a clean libs bundle unarchive breaks it. I also have numerous other things installed on this machine. so it isn't a good test.

I found that if gspawn-win32-helper.exe (there is a gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe too) was in the path it worked on windows xp. No such luck on vista. I attempted putting gspawn-win32-helper.exe in the path and it still failed. I hope someone can run with this information. I don't know anything more to test.

I have adjusted build.xml such that it copies gspawn-...exe to the distribution directory. This fixes the crashes for me on Windows XP SP2 (english version, english Inkscape, Dutch locale though)!

I just tried to use the fractilise effect and got the same crash:

Windows Version: Vista Business Inkscape Build: Inkscape 0.46dev+devel, built Oct 7 2007 (the autobuild from http://inkscape.modevia.com/) Language: English.

Could you give the full url? There are two different directories on that server with windows builds. One built by Bob another built by Daniel.
