Double free crash in OpenBSD 4.0

[jcarlosn]

I'm getting amsn crashes, sometimes when I try to log in into msn servers, simply amsn crash and it close.

I download last svn tarball from the project page, compiled it (with some troubles, because amsn have problems with openBSD)

My tcl and tk instalation are the last 8.5 from sourceforge tcl page, my tk is compiled with --enable-xft.

My libpng, libjpeg and the rest of requeriments of amsn, are correctly installed.

Because in OpenBSD amsn make install command simply don't work, i have to use amsn from the folder where i compiled it.

I execute amsn form the console, in a try to find the problem:

$ wish amsn
wish in free(): error: chunk is already free
Abort trap (core dumped)
$

in the FAQ there are instructions on how to find the source of the error with gdb. I suggest you search the forum 'cause I'm sure the answer is there somewhere. Make sure you have the latest stable versions of libpng/zlib and if it still crashes delete your display picture's cached directory (rm ~/.amsn/*/displaypics/cache/*) because a DP is corrupted and it causes it to crash most probably.
If not, maybe try the stable tcl/tk 8.4 version...

Thanks for the fast reply to my problem.

The problem was solved deleteing the display pictures cache directory.

Thanks.
