povray 3.6.1 crashes fluxbox 1.0rc3 when rendering a scene

[sillysloft]

When rendering a scene using povray 3.6.1, fluxbox 1.0rc3 dumps core (backtrace is attached). This happens with any *.pov-file. It's not a bug in povray either as it works perfectly with other window mangers.

System: FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386

How to reproduce: $ povray +I foo.pov +P +W640 +H480

backtrace of fluxbox.core

Hi,

Unfortunately, the backtrace is useless as it's missing symbols.

Could you please recompile fluxbox with --enable-debug and then get a new core backtrace?

(PS: I tried this myself using the povray "glasses" example, and fluxbox didn't crash), though I'm on a gentoo 64-bit system. Maybe you could include a simple .pov that you definitely have the crash with.

Also, when does it crash? What's going on at the time? Is it at the start just when it opens the window? Is it in the middle of rendering? Is it at the end? When you click the window to close??

Thanks,

- Simon

I did some more testing and fluxbox didn't dumped core at all. I suspect some failing memory as the coredumping yesterday happend while RAM was used to 97% (whereas now only ~ 15% are in use).

If I do encounter any problems which are not hardware-related, I'll report back.

Sorry for the noise though ;)
