Cryptkeeper crashes unless run with args #16

Closed ivanperez-keera closed 8 years ago

ivanperez-keera commented 10 years ago

For the past few years, this has been happening fairly frequently.

When I run cryptkeeper normally, it segfaults. But if I run it with certain args, like -h or -?, then it works fine. But not with just any arg. For instance, it segfaults with -a.

This bug has been present in some form in the last 4 or 5 ubuntu distros.

It's not always consistent, although most often it is. Cryptkeeper should (and probably does) ignore the cli args anyway. So it may be due to something completely unrelated to the args.

I understand that this info may not be sufficient to debug this problem, so please, tell me what else to upload. Will provide as needed.

This still happens, but what I found out is that it crashes intermittently. It's not so much to provide args, but to change something. For instance, if I run it, it crashes, I open a few terminals, and run it again, then it may not crash even if no arguments are provided.

It's very hard to debug like this. Closing this for now, please reopen it if you can find the pattern.
