Description Richard Weinberger 2011-11-19 12:55:14 UTC 
Application: kgpg (2.6.2)
KDE Platform Version: 4.7.3 (4.7.3) "release 10"
Qt Version: 4.7.4
Operating System: Linux 2.6.37.6-0.9-desktop x86_64

-- Information about the crash:
kgpg was running for ~30minutes in the background.
Then it crashed without any interaction from my side...

The crash can be reproduced some of the time.

-- Backtrace:

Comment 1 Rolf Eike Beer 2011-11-19 14:07:41 UTC 
This looks very much like some assertion is hit. Please start KGpg from a terminal session and paste the output that happens shortly before the crash here.
Comment 2 Richard Weinberger 2011-11-19 14:11:13 UTC 
Will do, but the crash happens only very rarely...
Comment 3 Richard Weinberger 2011-11-19 19:33:19 UTC 
There you go!

--->8---
Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
KCrash: Application 'kgpg' crashing.

Comment 4 Rolf Eike Beer 2011-11-20 10:39:04 UTC 
Ok, there is some sort of memleak happening. Could you try running

valgrind --leak-check=full kgpg --nofork

This will likely be rather slow but hopefully gives me a clue what's going on.

the funky signature
Comment 6 Richard Weinberger 2011-11-20 14:29:42 UTC 
This is not going to work.
I had some time to look a bit closer at the problem.
Kgpg seems to get stuck in an infinite loop by opening the attached pgp-signature.
Within this loop it allocates from time to time some memory, after a few hours it crashes...

You can reproduce the issue as follows:
1. kgpg --nofork
on a second shell:
2. kgpg signature.asc

Now the first kgpg process consumes 100% cpu until it crashes due to std:bad_alloc.
Comment 7 Rolf Eike Beer 2011-11-20 14:52:32 UTC 
Thanks for the info, now I know what is happening. KGpg tries to decrypt the signature and gots stuck in it's communication with the underlying gpg process.
Comment 8 Rolf Eike Beer 2011-11-20 15:37:46 UTC 
Git commit de841cf6a13d5c2ff5bb3cdb9002acc3afae05c9 by Rolf Eike Beer.
Committed on 20/11/2011 at 16:36.
Pushed by dakon into branch 'KDE/4.7'.

prevent KGpg to endlessly loop while trying to decrypt a detached signature

This can't work, so there is no value in trying it.
