wm crashes when sending mail in thunderbird #36

Closed behindtext closed 10 years ago

behindtext commented 10 years ago

i have hit this about half a dozen times in the past week. when sending email using thunderbird, the wm will completely crash. i am running a recent bitrig snapshot and got a proper backtrace of the crash:

#0  0x00000000004052ec in max_stack (ws=, g=)
    at /home/user/work/spectrwm/spectrwm.c:4968
4968                            if (w->transient == parent->id)
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00000000004052ec in max_stack (ws=, g=)
    at /home/user/work/spectrwm/spectrwm.c:4968
#1  0x000000000040a078 in stack () at /home/user/work/spectrwm/spectrwm.c:4431
#2  0x00000000004168f1 in unmapnotify (e=) at /home/user/work/spectrwm/spectrwm.c:9749
#3  0x0000000000418678 in main (argc=, argv=)
    at /home/user/work/spectrwm/spectrwm.c:10736

as best i can tell, this is related to recent code since i have only encountered this after updating spectrwm a couple weeks ago. the bug is likely in code from the past 3 or 4 months.

i hope this can be fixed soon.

Try to recompile the source.

Maybe there are some flags that doesn't fit in your machine in the pre-compiled package. I haven't check the root of the issue, but I had the same problem, recompiled the same version from source and the issues disappeared.
