Re: [ipchat-devel] Priority queue

I found an extrange segfault bug. Easy to reproduce, but difficult to
understand.

Just rename ~/.ipchat to ~/.ipchat.old, so you are like a new user.

Run ipchat. Segfault in a malloc called by timer_pq_add.
The same effect is achieved by removing .ipchat/contacts, or removing all
contacts in that file. There is always a segfault in timer_pq_add:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I run the same tests with old demux.c (list-based), and there was no
problems. So, everything points to a memory management error in pqueue.
But I didn't find it.

Can you reproduce the bug?
See you.
