[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#844137: Info received (node-groove: FTBFS: Tests failures)

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

I got help from Lucas to get access to a machine where the problem is exposed, and
have tried to debug a bit further.  This was a hard problem to figure out because
nodejs hijack the signal pinpointing the exact crash location, and I have not yet
understood exactly what go wrong.  But I am a bit further.

The crash happen in DetachAsync() called from the "create, attach, detach player"
step.  As far as I can tell, the crash is in the line

  r->errcode = groove_player_detach(r->player);

This was determined by sprinkling printf-like statements around the code.  I've been
unable to figure out where the groove_player_detach() call is, and have run out
of time for today.  Perhaps this information can help someone else get further?

Note, the warning from helgrind is a red herring, and is showing up independent of
the segfault.
