Hi everyone,
I am trying to get synfig-studio packages built for each supported version of FreeBSD. Synfig 1.0 is successfully building on all versions of FreeBSD, with the exception of FreeBSD 9.3 amd64. This version of FreeBSD uses GCC 4.2.1.
The following synfig command is used during the synfig-studio built process, but is dumping core on FreeBSD 9.3 amd64:
root@freebsd93:/usr/ports/graphics/synfigstudio/work/synfigstudio-1.0/images # synfig -q synfig_icon.sif -o 16x16/
_icon.png --time 0 -w 16 -h 16
Abort (core dumped)
When I load the core file from this synfig command into the gdb debugger, and do a backtrace it shows:
[code]root@freebsd93:/usr/ports/graphics/synfigstudio/work/synfigstudio-1.0/images # gdb /usr/local/bin/synfig

Has anyone seen this issue before?
An interesting point is that when I compile liboil with debugging symbols to try and debug further, it no longer crashes. I believe this is typically a result of the program writing to an invalid memory address (e.g. a buffer overflow), which is typically less of an issue with debugging symbols on as it is often the debugging symbols which are being over-written rather than more critical memory.
