Bug Description

Binary package hint: liferea

I was running liferea under Feisty Beta. I was attempting to use the <spacebar> to read through the articles in a feed when the error occurred. Only other major programs running on the system were thunderbird 2 beta2, gaim, and rhythmbox.

And report if solves the issue

Hello Sam

Please, install the liferea and liferea-mozilla packages from http://emilio.pozuelo.org/deb/ and run liferea with the following command:
liferea --debug-net --debug-verbose > liferea-net.log

Then crash liferea and attach the resulting file liferea-net.log

Thanks for testing

Sam, Janne:

Please, reinstall liferea again with the packages in http://emilio.pozuelo.org/deb/ and test. I think they fix your issue! It seems that a change in mozilla/mozembed.c caused this.

Thanks
Emilio

I forgot to mention it, but you also have to reinstall liferea-mozilla (the package is in that url)

I had to compile those packages myself since I'm on amd64 (not sure if I did it right), but here's the result of "liferea --debug-net --debug-verbose > liferea-net.log".

Forgot to mention that the previous log was generated with the older patch. Noticed the new patch just a minute ago.

Hello again!

Can you please test again the liferea and liferea-mozilla from http://emilio.pozuelo.org/deb/
The actual fix breaks the auto-load-link in external browser feature, so we are working in fix your crash without breaking it.

Thanks

Hi!

Liferea is segfaulting again with the new fix. With the previous fix everything was working fine for me, even the auto-load link in internal browser feature.
