Bug Description

Binary package hint: muse

I tried to launch MusE from the menu but that failed, so I tried on the command line and got this:

$ muse
muse: malloc.c:3074: sYSMALLOc: Assertion `(old_top == (((mbinptr) (((char *) &((av)->bins[((1) - 1) * 2])) - __builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd)))) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= (unsigned long)((((__builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd_nextsize))+((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1)) & ~((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1))) && ((old_top)->size & 0x1) && ((unsigned long)old_end & pagemask) == 0)' failed.
Aborted

A quick search showed that a similar problem has been found in Arch linux:

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15466?project=1&order=dateopened&sort=desc&pagenum=8

I tried downloading the source from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93414 and compiled the latest stable version of MusE (1.0RC3), and the resulting executable gave me exactly the same error as above.

All this was quite a surprise, as MusE is the midi sequencer installed by default in ubuntustudio and I expected it to just work.

hmm, Muse starts just fine on 32bit Ubuntu Studio Karmic. The bug you posted from Arch linux is also a 64bit bug.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've added a 'me too' comment on
sourceforge and a link to the launchpad bug from there.

apparently this is still an issue for muse-1.0rc3. i'll debdiff a version of the arch patch in arch version muse-1.0rc3-1. for some reason the bug link to arch isnt being accepted by launchpad. the fix seems a bit arbitrary to me but it does work.

i dont have 64bit debian to test if this is a problem there, i'm guessing that it is but if someone who has a debian machine could test muse from debian unstable on 64 and link a bug upstream?

hmm, this would be better as a 64 bit only patch as 32 seems unaffected

maybe better? only apply on amd64 builds, i386 doesnt have this problem so leaving it alone might be better if theres a hope of getting into sru

Uploaded in Lucid. Thanks for your contribution!

Can you also report it to Debian?

And follow the SRU process to get this fix applied in Karmic?

Thanks,
Fabrice

DESCRIPTION:
muse 0.8.1a-6.3 fails to start on ubuntu karmic amd64 (i386 not affected) with error
$ muse
muse: malloc.c:3074: sYSMALLOc: Assertion `(old_top == (((mbinptr) (((char *) &((av)->bins[((1) - 1) * 2])) - __builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd)))) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= (unsigned long)((((__builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd_nextsize))+((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1)) & ~((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1))) && ((old_top)->size & 0x1) && ((unsigned long)old_end & pagemask) == 0)' failed.
Aborted

TEST CASE:
try to run muse on karmic amd64 arch (i386 not affected)

FIX:
Make change in muse/memory.cpp on amd64 to fix memory grow,
- int esize = (idx+1) * sizeof(int);
+ int esize = (idx+1) * sizeof(int)+2;

Applied in ubuntu lucid
muse (0.8.1a-6.3ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

REGRESSION:
The package is currently unusable on amd64 but ok on i386. Changes affect only the build of the muse package. The patch affects is only applied to amd64 builds and should not affect i386 so hopefully regression potential should be low
