segmentation fault on any error

Thank you for your report. Its working fine on my system. Can you please specify any specific situation when it crashes. It would be very helpful in Confirming and moving forward in fixing it.

Could you please provide a backtrace as well ? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash for instructions. Thanks.

The original reporter has gone missing, so I think I have to reject this since there is not enough information to reproduce it. If this is still an issue for anybody, please re-open this. Thanks.

Just got a backtrace of this bug. It was a little hard to reproduce, running inside valgrind or gdb does not show the bug, but attaching the process does the trick.

Got the backtrace.

This is the gnuplot backtrace with gdb. Working in a better one.

Again, running inside the valgrind gnuplot does not show any strange behavior (typing an erroneous command showed no effect, just the invalid command warning). But the error is still here, as the gdb output can show.

Wow, you are quick :) Could you also please provide clear instructions on how to reproduce this (pick your easiest case :-) ? Thanks again.

Any wrong command that i tested gave the same results. Like 'plott x', or 'set style dada lines', or anything that is not the right syntax in the gnuplot gave the segfault.

Sorry about that! I am running a amd64 (Athlon 64 3200) with Asus SLI Mobo (nvidia chipset), 120GB Sata and nvidia 6200 fx. Running dapper lts (updated from flight 4).

Does this bug still exist in Edgy or latest Dapper versions? If so can you please upload a sample file.dat file? I am unable to reproduce it on the latest Edgy package by typing 'plott x'.It says Invalid command perfectly and does not crash. I use gnuplot version 4.0.0-3 0

Information was requested 7 months ago, as this bug is unreproducible. If anybody is able to reproduce this, please reopen the bug.
