[Mono-devel-list] Weird runtime crash

[Peter Williams]

Hi everyone,

I have a weird runtime issue with a small Gtk# program that I have. It
was working fine. I updated some resource files, recompiled, and now the
runtime reliably segfaults very early on in the program's execution. No
NullReferenceException, just SIGSEGV. Through Console.WriteLine's I've
traced down the line where this happens, and it's totally innocuous:

		if (dims != null) {

If I remove the line, execution continues a little farther but there's
just another segfault later.

In gdb, I get a stack trace that doesn't seem very helpful: see below.
Runtime and corlib are SVN trunk from a few nights ago. Other, much more
complicated programs run fine. Any ideas of what might be going on here?

Thanks,
	Peter
