Segmentation fault in 1.33 (Ubuntu 8.04)

[oleg]

Hello,

I use Transmission 1.33 (6608) from unofficial repo (​http://ppa.launchpad.net/bortis/ubuntu). Program crashes with SIGSEGV. Please check gdb output.

Best regards, Oleg Yaroshevych.

I appreciate you filing this report and for running Transmission in gdb, but unfortunately that gdb session is pretty useless.

What would be useful:

As root, install transmission-debuginfo. then:

% gdb transmission (gdb) handle SIGPIPE nostop (gdb) r SIGSEGV (gdb) thread apply all bt (gdb) quit

^{please attach the results of a session like this and reopen this ticket. Thanks!}

oops, forgot about the formatting.

% gdb transmission
(gdb) handle SIGPIPE nostop
(gdb) r
...run until it crashes...
(gdb) thread apply all bt
(gdb) quit
