Thank you for the report.  Can you tell me exactly what you are doing in the 
progam when it crashes (or is it inconsistent)?  Can you also post your 
$KDEHOME/share/config/kstarsrc file?

If you suspect it has to do with data that you've downloaded, there is a way 
we can test that.  Rename your $KDEHOME/share/apps/kstars directory to 
$KDEHOME/share/apps/kstars_old.  Then start kstars and see if it no longer 
crashes.  The downloaded data go into that directory, so by renaming it you 
aren't using them anymore.

If that works, the next step is to add the data one at a time until you 
identify which one is causing the crashes.  Please reply here with what you 
find.

If none of this works:  Is it the case that the topmost function in the 
backtrace is always "refract()"?  If so, try unchecking the "Correct for 
atmospheric refraction" box in the Advanced tab of the Configuration dialog.

Thanks a lot for the response!
In  the next days, I'll do all the tests you recommend (actually, I also
was thinking of removing my kstars configuration).
The crashes are inconsistent. Maybe they happen when I put the mouse
over a star/object, or click on it in order to center it.
For the refract, I am not sure, will test.

Best regards!

Mihail

A little development:
I removed the refraction correction and kstars stopped crashing. Today I decided to make the test with downloading the data, so I started kstars as different user, and test it for a while without downloading the data. It crashed after a while.

So, probably the crashes has nothing to do with the downloading data but with the refraction correction option in the configuration menu.

Mihail

I modified the title of the bug to reflect the new information you posted, I hope that's okay.  Thanks for following up on this.

I think I something similar or the same on my machine with KStars from trunk (KDE4). I also have a 64-bit machine and have not downloaded any additional data yet. This is my backtrace:

The refraction code has been reworked in trunk.  Can you test whether this bug has been resolved?  I've never been able to see it on my machine...

SVN commit 766927 by harris:

Fixing crash condition in SkyMap::refract().  The 
array index could sometimes go out of bounds, leading 
to a segfault.

Will port to trunk and 4.0 branch
