Pidgin 2.9.0 crashes opening irc chat channel...

[crusnik]

It's a clean install, but it crashed right away opening an irc channel @rizon I had no problems with previous versions.

Looked around in the debug file, found it was missing files, googled, found similar problem for the 2.7 version, added that .dll, didn't work.

Searched your database for this problem, couldn't find it, hence this new ticket.

Please follow the instructions to get a debug log and attach it to this ticket.

Alternately, what channel are you joining? (so that I can reproduce this)

The chatroom is #gg irc.rizon.net

[darkrain42]

So, looking at the debug log; it looks like Pidgin ran successfully (and then you quit it). Did you join #gg?

This crash is related to the userlist (rearchitecting went into 2.9.0), so this may well be related to a specific user in the room.

(I also couldn't reproduce the crash joining #gg)

Debug Trace for darkrain ... IRC #gg crash

[darkrain42]

HumanCell's test was done on Windows with UTF-8 encoding and "Auto-detect" not checked.

This may well be either glib-version specific, or specific to Windows. Last log:

(23:31:29) GLib: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed

Backtrace from gdb

[darkrain42]

I've set up a Windows build environment and debugged this with gdb (backtrace attached).

This is crashing on g_utf8_collate_key("Chaotic Neutral", -1) (and the string is null-terminated).

I frankly have no idea what's going on here.

[darkrain42]

QuLogic helpfully pointed out the space in the nick didn't look right (...which it doesn't, when I view it in FF or anything other than faux-cmd.exe and notepad++).

This space is actually 0xA0 (160) a.k.a. NBSP.

elb, I'm hoping you've got an idea now.

do have the same error on 2 different win7 64bit machines, trying to enter the Chaoz-IRC.net...

here is last piece ot the dump: http://pastebin.com/F7SjRZsV

Did some further research and was able to narrow down the point when pidgin crashes. I had no problems to connect to the server itself or acquire the chanlist via /list-command. The automated login was performed and got confirmed by nickserv. At this point this is what debug output looks like: http://pastebin.com/NK52dM2L

There is no problem to join most channels but as soon as I connect some distinct channels these are the last lines to see before pidgin is crashed:

(22:00:43) gtkspell: Failed to setup GtkSpell?: enchant error for language: en (22:00:43) gtkspell: Failed to setup GtkSpell?: enchant error for language: en (22:00:43) GLib: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed

To come to an end here is the content of pidgin.RTP http://pastebin.com/s4Lmn360

hope that helps...

Hi folks!

I can no longer reproduce this on the reporter's server/channel (the user in question likely no longer in the channel). Can anyone else provide me with a server/channel on which I can test this?

Thanks!
