Version: 1.6.6 (using 3.5.10 "release 27" , openSUSE ) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.29-6-default In a konsole window, type this: "-\ (double quotes, minus, backslash) at this point, pressing TAB key for autocompletion causes konsole to crash silently, instead it should beep on error like bash does.
bash is the program which provides the tab completion - not Konsole. Can you try running Konsole with the --noclose argument and see whether Konsole still quits unexpectedly?
with --noclose now I get this dump, but can't tell if it's a bash or konsole problem: raffaele@linux:~> "-\*** glibc detected *** /bin/bash: free(): invalid pointer: 0x081625d0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0xb7ec8644] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x3b)[0xb7ec9ecb] /lib/libreadline.so.6(rl_filename_completion_function+0x60a)[0xb7fd29ba] /bin/bash(command_word_completion_function+0x6a4)[0x80a7bb8] /lib/libreadline.so.6(rl_completion_matches+0x5b)[0xb7fd384b] /bin/bash(bash_default_completion+0x6b)[0x80a802b] /bin/bash[0x80a909c] /lib/libreadline.so.6[0xb7fd3919] /lib/libreadline.so.6(rl_complete_internal+0x127)[0xb7fd4e77] /lib/libreadline.so.6(rl_complete+0x5d)[0xb7fd52ad] /lib/libreadline.so.6(_rl_dispatch_subseq+0xcf)[0xb7fcbf6f] /lib/libreadline.so.6(_rl_dispatch+0x34)[0xb7fcc3b4] /lib/libreadline.so.6(readline_internal_char+0xb9)[0xb7fcc7e9] /lib/libreadline.so.6(readline+0x6d)[0xb7fccced] /bin/bash[0x80608c1] /bin/bash[0x806170e] /bin/bash[0x8064895] /bin/bash(yyparse+0xd8)[0x80677c8] /bin/bash(parse_command+0x2f)[0x805ee7f] /bin/bash(read_command+0x106)[0x805f026] /bin/bash(reader_loop+0x7b)[0x805f12b] /bin/bash(main+0x735)[0x805d635] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5)[0xb7e72705] /bin/bash[0x805bf81] ======= Memory map: ======== 08048000-080e9000 r-xp 00000000 03:04 1113686 /bin/bash 080e9000-080ea000 r--p 000a0000 03:04 1113686 /bin/bash 080ea000-080ec000 rw-p 000a1000 03:04 1113686 /bin/bash 080ec000-081d7000 rw-p 080ec000 00:00 0 [heap] b7c60000-b7c7d000 r-xp 00000000 03:04 1112820 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 b7c7d000-b7c7e000 r--p 0001c000 03:04 1112820 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 b7c7e000-b7c7f000 rw-p 0001d000 03:04 1112820 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 b7cc0000-b7cf5000 r--s 00000000 03:04 1979593 /appcache/boot/passwd (deleted) b7cf5000-b7d34000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112315 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_CTYPE b7d34000-b7e1d000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112311 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_COLLATE b7e1d000-b7e1f000 rw-p b7e1d000 00:00 0 b7e1f000-b7e56000 r-xp 00000000 03:04 731165 /lib/libncurses.so.5.6 b7e56000-b7e58000 r--p 00036000 03:04 731165 /lib/libncurses.so.5.6 b7e58000-b7e5c000 rw-p 00038000 03:04 731165 /lib/libncurses.so.5.6 b7e5c000-b7fb1000 r-xp 00000000 03:04 731121 /lib/libc-2.9.so b7fb1000-b7fb2000 ---p 00155000 03:04 731121 /lib/libc-2.9.so b7fb2000-b7fb4000 r--p 00155000 03:04 731121 /lib/libc-2.9.so b7fb4000-b7fb5000 rw-p 00157000 03:04 731121 /lib/libc-2.9.so b7fb5000-b7fb8000 rw-p b7fb5000 00:00 0 b7fb8000-b7fbb000 r-xp 00000000 03:04 731127 /lib/libdl-2.9.so b7fbb000-b7fbc000 r--p 00002000 03:04 731127 /lib/libdl-2.9.so b7fbc000-b7fbd000 rw-p 00003000 03:04 731127 /lib/libdl-2.9.so b7fbd000-b7ff2000 r-xp 00000000 03:04 729427 /lib/libreadline.so.6.0 b7ff2000-b7ff3000 r--p 00035000 03:04 729427 /lib/libreadline.so.6.0 b7ff3000-b7ff6000 rw-p 00036000 03:04 729427 /lib/libreadline.so.6.0 b7ff6000-b7ff8000 rw-p b7ff6000 00:00 0 b8027000-b8028000 rw-p b8027000 00:00 0 b8028000-b8029000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112314 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_NUMERIC b8029000-b802a000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112313 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_TIME b802a000-b802b000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112307 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MONETARY b802b000-b802c000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112306 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES b802c000-b802d000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112303 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_PAPER b802d000-b802e000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112302 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_NAME b802e000-b802f000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112297 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_ADDRESS b802f000-b8030000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112283 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_TELEPHONE b8030000-b8031000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112282 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MEASUREMENT b8031000-b8038000 r--s 00000000 03:04 1112279 /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache b8038000-b8039000 r--p 00000000 03:04 1112278 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION b8039000-b803a000 rw-p b8039000 00:00 0 b803a000-b8058000 r-xp 00000000 03:04 730506 /lib/ld-2.9.so b8058000-b8059000 r--p 0001d000 03:04 730506 /lib/ld-2.9.so b8059000-b805a000 rw-p 0001e000 03:04 730506 /lib/ld-2.9.so bff44000-bff59000 rw-p bffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
Hi Raffaele, I marked this report as UNMAINTAINED because we do not provide updates for KDE 3 any more. I might be able to help find out where the problem is but if it turns out to be a problem with Konsole, which I think is unlikely given that is is bash that is crashing, we won't be able to 'fix' it.
