[erlang-bugs] Segmentation fault in R14B02/wxErlang/amd64/debian-sid

[Olivier Girondel]

Hello,

I have an application that works just fine with R14B02 on i386 / debian sid,
but segfaults on amd64 (same configuration, nothing special in the
erlang build):

================================
olivier@REDACTED:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid
olivier@REDACTED:~$ uname -a
Linux yoda 2.6.38-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Apr 23 18:47:49 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
olivier@REDACTED:~$ erl
Erlang R14B02 (erts-5.8.3) [source] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [rq:2]
[async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.8.3  (abort with ^G)
================================

Way to reproduce the bug -alas, not related to my application-

1> wx:demo().

Then click on the "gl" example. Segfaults without a core (even with
ulimit -c unlimited
and write permissions to the cwd)

1> wx:demo().
{wx_ref,35,wxFrame,<0.34.0>}
2> Segmentation fault

Backtrace with gdb (erlang was compiled with -g):

================================

The fault may be on my side -if not, what can I do to help debugging this ?
