here it is:
http://www.cs.bme.hu/~egmont/freetype/galeon-gdb.txt
I think it doesn't contain any valuable information.

Yes, unfortunately this is the case. All of galeon, epiphany and mozilla
are 5-6 proceseses.

Furthermore, all of them are a wrapper script so I placed the gdb
command in these scripts.

Please tell me if you succeed. IMHO it'd be the easiest if you saw this
bug.

Hahh ;-) it's an UHU-Linux which is a Hungarian distribuion we're
developing :-))))) it's a stand-alone distribution, not based on any other.

Binary packages are here: ftp://ftp.uhulinux.hu/uhu/dev/packages/
so you can just see the version number or look inside the packages (these
are .deb package, renamed to .uhu for some unknown prehistorical reason).
Sources, patches are available too in a special format if you're
interested.


In the mean time I'll try to binary search between 2.1.7 and 2.1.8 to see
when it went wrong.
