[SOLVED] corrupted png -> crash with *glibc double free..

[blommethomas]

Every time I try to login on my thomas user on amsn with blommethomas@gmail.com it quits unexpected. I don't get the problem as root and neither do I have it with another account. accessing msn using meebo and blommethomas@gmail.co mworks fine also. I supposed the problem lied in 1 of the files fro mblommethomas@gmail.com, but I updated all files in thomas/.amsn/ using files fro manother account and I still get the same error.

When running in terminal I get the following message:
Code:

I searched for the error in gentoo forums and seems like it mostly happens after an update, so it is maybe good to know that I did emerge world and emerge sync recently and that I also replaced all old config files with new ones

Hi,
You might want to try recompiling amsn from source. If this doesn't fix it, try deleting your profile, or completly deleting the ~/.amsn folder (moving it as a backup would be a better idea), try again with that and tell me if it fixes it.

[blommethomas]

http://amsn.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=693&highlight=crash
These people had the smae problem, they fixed it by deleting the profile, which I did.  Rarely enough it works normally again now after the next startup, perhaps amsn used files that we're copied to another directory if you have already started it up?

[vivia]

Well, if amsn is running, it keeps accessing some files from the profile directory or remembering some settings. In order to fully reset its settings, you need to close amsn before deleting ~/.amsn

[kakaroto]

WAIT!
can you make a copy of your profile so we can try to reproduce the error with it and see what causes this issue ?
thanks

[blommethomas]

hmm the problem keeps on returning.
The problem is this: in the displaypic/cache directory some image files are somehow wrong and if I browse to them, I see no preview, after I deleted them it works fine again.  Should I mail a picture if a see a corrupt one again?

[kakaroto]

ok, thanks for letting us know the cause.
Yes please, if you could mail me the picture, that would be awesone.
Thanks.

[blommethomas]

can you give me your email I'm searching if I can find the picture back in trash now

[blommethomas]

I tried to put it on imageshack but I get an error:

Hi blommethomas,
Try this file : http://cache.gmane.org//gmane/network/instant-messaging/amsn/devel/5774-001.bin
it's actually a patch, so rename it to .patch and patch your local copy of amsn, then delete the folders amsn/utils/TkCximage/src/zlib, amsn/utils/TkCximage/src/png and amsn/utils/TkCximage/src/jpeg
Then relaunch ./configure
make, then retry, you should make sure you have libpng installed on your system... the latest version is recommended..
look here for more info :
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.instant-messaging.amsn.devel/5749
especially this post and subsequent ones :
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.instant-messaging.amsn.devel/5768

tell me if it fixes your issue.

I've also been getting the same problems and it's really annoying.  Every time it crashes I have to go into the displaypic cache directory and delete the broken displaypic.

I've uploaded the most recent corrupt display pic here, but as I've never seen in I'm not sure what the content is.
http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/6531/640344942493f6c4271484e6156463.png

I don't know how to apply patches to source code, so I don't know if the above patch would make any difference

[ChrisRX]

Hi, sorry to bump this thread but I realised that my lack of knowledge about patching is irelevant because I get a 404 while trying to download that patch anyway.  Is there any chance you could upload some pre-patched files.
This crash has happened 4 times since my last message so it is really starting to annoy me now.  I have some more corrupt display pics if you need me to upload them to diagnose the problem.
I'm running gentoo linux with libpng-1.2.12-r1

[kakaroto]

Hi Chris, thanks for answering and providing the image.. it looks like the image is corrupted and has blanks in the *middle* of it...
what the patch does is simply make sure amsn uses your system's libpng instead of the one shipped with amsn... here is a paste of the patch (I also can't access anymore the link I gave) :

paste that into a file and use the 'patch' command to patch your files, it should be as simple as :

Code:

patch -p0 < the_diff_file

or maybe -p1...
don't forget you have to do it on the source package of amsn, and you need to recompile amsn after that with

Code:

./configure && make && make install

before you can see a change.

good luck, tell me the results.

Im trying to apply your patch but I get this problem:

I get an error while trying to patch too.  I'm patching against the 0.96-rc1 code, should I be patching against 0.95 stable?
