Details

Description:
rarian-sk-get-cl segfaults when called as user. rarian is used be khelpcenter for example.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
rarian-0.8.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
Start khelpcenter from konsole or just run directly something like "rarian-sk-get-cl UTF-8 scrollkeeper_cl.xml". This shouldn't be KDE related (I hope so).

I have tried to recompile with rarian-0.8.0-info-segfault.patch and/or rarian-0.6.0-posix-getopt.patch provided by Gentoo. The result was the same.

However: it seem you can run this command as root without any segfault. Changeing the rights of /var/lib/rarian does not help though. And I am not sure if invoking it as root does really the same; so this hint might be useless.

This task depends upon

Can't reproduce that here. Not from the terminal as normal user, not from khelpcenter itself (BTW: KHelpcenter doesn't work so well with stripped docs).

I am confused. To make sure it isn't just me I had tested this on three different computers (i686 and x86_64). I just repeated this within a chroot which does not hav any kde stuff installed. The result was allways the same and dmesg shows something like this:

rarian-sk-get-c[8170]: segfault at 0 ip 7f2ca806f990 sp 7fffb0f266a8 error 4 in libc-2.8.so[7f2ca7ff4000+14a000]

(What do you mean with stripped docs? Did I forget the 'docs' option in some PKGBUILDs?)
