[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#457150: nvidia-kernel-source: Segfaults xorg

[Phil Dibowitz]

Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 100.14.19-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I restarted X today (many apt-get upgrade's later), and found that X
segfaults, and then crashes. Xorg.0.log doesn't show any errors except
for the backtrace at the end:

  Backtrace:
  0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x7e) [0x80c660e]
  1: [0xffffe420]
  2: X(Xrealloc+0x32) [0x81b4412]
  3: X [0x81024c9]
  4: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so [0xb6fbdac9]

  Fatal server error:
  Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

I've posted an strace of the server here:

I noticed that reportbug isn't including my version of xorg, so:

ii  xserver-xorg    1:7.3+8         the X.Org X server

I can reproduce the problem with "xinit", "startx", or launching xdm or
gdm - as a normal user or as root.
