Or a malloc checker? We do have a built-in malloc checker that can be enabled by symlinking /etc/malloc.conf to "AJ": ln -sf AJ /etc/malloc.conf This will cause all memory regions to be junk-filled upon allocation and deallocation, and trigger an abort() if memory is accessed improperly. There is also a valgrind port for FreeBSD, but it does not work well with threaded programs :-(. >=20 > > Are there any other ways to reproduce it (other than entering > > "=3Dsin(42)+min(12,23)" and quitting, I mean) or any other info that I = can > > provide? >=20 > Loading a random, big xls file and playing a bit with the menus and dialo= gs > might be useful.

We just updated our ports tree libgsf to 1.14.5. Note: I cannot reproduce either with Gnumeric 1.7.11 on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE. >=20 > I don't know if it is relevant, but several of the crash reports have > been from Japan. I tried a ja locale, and I still can't get it to crash.
