Crash when displaying gif image

Post by psfales »

I'm seeing a repeatable crash with 6.6.7-10 (possibly earlier, but not tested) running on Linux.

To reproduce, use "display" to show a gif image, then right-click and select next. This consistently causes a crash, but only with gif files. It doesn't happen with .png or .jpg

The stack trace is below (but I suspect the real memory error is somewhere else - such as the gif code - and is only showing up later)

(gdb) bt

#1 0x42074c68 in _int_free () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

For what it's worth, I'm still seeing this in 6.7.0-1

We cannot reproduce the problem. What Linux and OS level are you running under?
