Description Nick Warne 2008-01-26 13:18:09 UTC

Version:           4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= 20080104) (using 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= 20080104), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-g9b73e76f

I lumped this under KDE general, as I do not know where the issue is.

I have noticed since moving to KDE4, that whenever I use tar or bzcat within konsole (or any other term), tar/bzcat untarball sucessfully, but always finish with an 'aborted' signal:

tar zxvf claws-mail-theme_ZX.tar.gz
...
...
...
...
ZX-0_1.1/clip.xpm
ZX-0_1.1/queue_open.xpm
ZX-0_1.1/properties.xpm
Aborted

If I drop out of X, or Ctrl+Alt+Fn to another terminal, tar/bzcat works fine (as before).  Remember though, the operation is still SUCCESSFUL so no issues with function.

I have never seen this behaviour until starting to use the KDE4 environment.

Do they do that outside of KDE if you 'export MALLOC_CHECK_=2" before running them?

Comment 2 Nick Warne 2008-01-26 17:52:29 UTC

Heh.  Clever man, Maksim.

YES, they then exhibit same issue.

Thanks. Then it's not a KDE bug --- the start script is enabling extra protection, and it seems to detect a problem with those apps.

Comment 4 Nick Warne 2008-01-27 00:31:18 UTC

OK, to complete this, my fix is to issue:

unset MALLOC_CHECK_

in a the terminal before using tar/bzcat
