[Nano-devel] "Bus error" when searching in nano - gdb backtraces attached

[Hans Ecke]

Hi-

I'm on Suse 10.1 x86-64 with all the supplementary and mainstream updates 
applied. I just compiled nano 1.9.99-pre3.
   
   gcc 4.02
   glib 1.2.10, glib2 2.8.5 (I understand you use glib code somewhere?)
   glibc 2.8.5
   kernel 2.6.13
   ncurses 5.4

When I start nano and do the following:
   * type a bunch of stuff on a couple lines
   * search for one of the strings I just typed
I get the message "Bus error" and nano crashes.

   TERM=xterm
   LANG=en_US.UTF-8
   LC_COLLATE=C

Attached are three gdb backtraces from the core files. 

Next I tried it running under valgrind and it worked just fine. Thats 
puzzling.

I have been getting the same error with nano 1.3.8 (which is the version 
that comes with Suse these days, I think) and I hoped 1.9.99 would fix it. 
No such luck...

Thanks!

Hans
