[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#958112: gtkwave: reliable segfault when opening the same .vcd file in two simultaneous tabs

[lkcl]

Package: gtkwave
Version: 3.3.104-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

with some views containing well over 800 signals it becomes impossible
to usefully put all of them into a single tab.

one sensible option therefore is to place subsets of relevant (related)
signals into one tab, and to open a *second* tab - refreshing both
when the simulation is updated - containing other relevant (related)
signals.

unfortunately when doing this, there is a 100% reproducible occurrence
of gtkwave segfaulting after transitioning twice between such tabs.
