Summary: malloc/free crash when creating search indices
Initial Comment:
Program starts fine. Select "Settings", then "Bookshelf Manager", then "Manager Search Indices", select a Bible text, then "Create Selected Indices".
Sometimes the error is:
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x10547d78 ***
*** BibleTime got signal 6 (Crashing). Trying to save settings.
Alarm clock
Sometimes the error is:
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x1049a8d0 ***
*** BibleTime got signal 6 (Crashing). Trying to save settings.
Alarm clock
(different pointer values every time, of course.)
Doesn't seem to matter if the user is root or not, or where the text modules are located (/usr/local/share/sword or ~/.sword).
malloc failures seem to associate with KJV and MKJV, and free failures seem to associate with RSV and ISV.
BibleTime version 1.6.2
Qt version 3.3.6
running KDE 3.5.4 on PowerMac G4 with 2.6.18.3 kernel.
Slackintosh 11 distro

Hello everybody.
Can you please try again with the new BibleTime 1.6.4? We fixed what we
believe may have caused the error (unfortunately, we could not reproduce it
ourselves. Please let us know if the bug is fixed now.
Thanks, mg

The current CVS of BibleTime contains a fix for a bug which might be
related to this one.
Could all of you who know how to use CVS test this for us?
Thank you!

I have the same problem. When I try to search something (the KJV, for
example) I get the message that whatever I am trying to search "One or more
modules needs to be indexed. This may take a long time. Do you wish to
continue?"
When I click "OK" the Bibletime crashes. I have very few modules
installed, but it does not matter what I try to search, I get the same
message and crashes.
I am running Freespire.

Please keep digging! I can't reproduce this on my machine...
Thanks for all info so far.

Except for the few apps that I installed from the disk (notably KDE),
everything on my machine is self-compiled. I've had no troubles at all
with anything else.
Bibletime itself runs fine, it's just the index formation that crashes.
Note that I'm not running "slack", I'm running a slack-like minor
distribution for PowerPC, reportedly built from the same source as Slack
11.
I don't know how backtrace in gdb works, but if there's a limited buffer,
and it's being filled with what looks like recursion in the libc thread
functions, is it possible that the root-cause Blbietime trace is being
pushed out of the buffer? Or is backtrace dumping the stack of a thread,
instead of Bibletime itself? Noob furiously guessing...
The problem exists in both 1.6.2 and 1.6.3b on my machine.

Linspire 5.1.427. Just upgraded to 1.6.3. Select KJV and attempt to do a
search. Comes up and says that index needs to be built and that this will
take some time. Tell it OK. 4 hours later, TOP shows that BT is taking very
little CPU. Shut it down and restart, and... Same thing, it needs to index
KJV. Basically nothing happens in an hour. I don't think it is a SLACK
problem.

Just to reiterate what I said in the other thread, I can create indices
fine with BibleTime 1.6.3b on Slackware 11. I'm running KDE 3.5.4 & kernel
2.6.17.13.

I don't know about dmorland, but I myself don't have much trouble with
other self-compiled programs. But considering that creating search indices
works just fine in BT 1.6.2 on my distro (Slack 11), I figure it must be
something to do with whatever changed in BT 1.6.3b that is causing the
crash. If it were a distro problem, wouldn't it also have to crash in all
other BT versions as well?

Mumble.... This doesn't really look like a BibleTime problem. Do you have
trouble with other self-compiled software as well? Nothing in your
backtrace pointed to something in BibleTime....

It seems that there are more slack users with this problem. Might be a
distro issue?

Under the suspicion that something is going on with
multithreading, I attempted to reconfigure without threading
("./configure --disable-threading"). configure
failed to find Qt! Has no problem with plain old "./configure"!

Hi David, please attach comments to the bug report. I pasted you email.
Well, to generate a stack backtrace the best thing probably to do is to
run bibletime in gdb.
IIRC, you need to execute
gdb /usr/bin/bibletime (or wherever it is)
and then inside gdb
run
and then when the crash occurs
backtrace.
Please look at the documentation, I might well be wrong here.
To see more useful information in the backtrace, you can compile BT
without optimization and with debugging symbols. Use
configure --disable-optimize (not sure about this one) --enable-debug
To configure and then compile BibleTime.
Thanks for your assistance.
mg

Yep, still does it. That's 1.6.3b, right?
Can you advise how to generate a stack backtrace? I figured
it would leave a core file somewheres, but I can't find it!
I understand such data can be extracted from core files,
but I've never done it personally.
Also, is this the appropriate way to process a bug report
with you, or is there a more "official" method via sourceforge?

Can you please test if this also happens with 1.6.3? If so, please provide
more details (stack backtrace).
