[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#948626: kicad: Closing pcbnew hangs main kicad process

[Bernhard Übelacker]

Hello Paul,
I am not involved in packaging kicad or wxwidgets,
just trying to collect some more information.

Could you recheck - could it be that this pid 309563
was still running from a previous kicad session and
your hanging kicad was another, newer process?

Because, I guess, the __run_exit_handlers should just
run at process exit.

The last line in your backtrace point to this line,
with a loop which would fit into the picture:
  https://sources.debian.org/src/wxwidgets3.0/3.0.4+dfsg-15/src/common/object.cpp/#L177

When you are in gdb and try to leave the current function
by "finish", do you get again to the debugger prompt,
or is it causing already the 100% CPU usage again?

Kind regards,
Bernhard
