Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I would like to help resolve the problem, or determine if it has already been fixed. Please answer these questions:

1. Are you still able reproduce the problem with more a more recent version of Ubuntu, such as Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic"? (You reported this bug against an older version of antennavis and TkAnt, so the problem may have been fixed in the meantime).

2. You mentioned that the crash occurs when you load "this antenna" but no data file is attached. Please attach the file(s) necessary to reproduce the bug to this bug report.

Thanks again.

I did locate the reporter's antenna file which provokes the problem, attached to one of the duplicate bugs. I have attached it here as "example-antenna-120923.nec".

I confirm that the reported TkAnt Segmentation fault crash does still occur in Ubuntu Karmic with antennavis 0.3-5.

I have fixed this bug in antennavis TkAnt. The bug actually occurs when loading _any_ file which contains no "GW" geometry tube lines -- even an empty file provokes the bug. Unfortunately, antennavis cannot render the submitter's antenna file anyway, since that file uses a different type of geometry specification not supported by antennavis. With the fix, an explanatory error message is printed and the program doesn't crash, at least.

Attached branch contains the fix, and I have forwarded the bug report and patch upstream to Debian.

Update packages containing the fix for Ubuntu Karmic and Lucid are available in my PPA:
