Bug#530706: ekiga hangs receiving calls

[Javier Barroso]

Package: ekiga
Version: 3.2.1~git20090515.9d0263-1
Severity: important


I'm not sure when it occurs. My ekiga (from sid) hangs sometimes.

Today, for example, Ekiga started from autostart in awesome wm. Then I received a call, but ekiga was unresponsived.

In strace this message is appears continuously:

octl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfaa1068) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
write(2, "      assert.cxx(108)\tPWLib\tAsse"..., 122) = 122
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1
write(2, "Assertion fail: Null pointer ref"..., 94) = 94
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1

I started now a ekiga -d2 &> ekiga.debug , so next time ekiga hangs I can attach it to this report.

Thank you very much
