Bug#354010: tsclient: crashes when 'connect button' is pushed

[Geert Stappers]

Package: tsclient
Version: 1.14-2
Severity: important

Hello Netsnipe,

On a Debian Unstable computer I did had a working tsclient.

A few weeks ago I noticed that it crashes at connect time.

Knowing that a simple 'it crashes at connect time' isn't helpfull,
I did build an unstripped version[1] but the backtrace is useless:

| #0 0x0fa4d284 in g_file_open_tmp () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
| #1 0x0fa4d284 in g_file_open_tmp () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
| #2 0x0fa4d284 in g_file_open_tmp () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
|   <snip/>
| #33 0x0fa4d284 in g_file_open_tmp () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
| #34 0x0fa4d284 in g_file_open_tmp () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
| #35 0x0fa4d284 in g_file_open_tmp () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
| Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
| (gdb)


Could this be caused by the compiler warnings like:

| applet.c: In function 'tsclient_applet_create':
| applet.c:68: warning: unused variable 'i'
| applet.c: In function 'create_menu':
| applet.c:170: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
| applet.c:183: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type


| rdpfile.c: In function 'rdp_file_set_screen':
| rdpfile.c:269: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 4 of 'gtk_editable_insert_text' differ in signedness
| rdpfile.c:291: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 4 of 'gtk_editable_insert_text' differ in signedness
| rdpfile.c:295: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 4 of 'gtk_editable_insert_text' differ in signedness



Looking forward to your reply, Cheers,
Geert Stappers
