[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#682616: Chromium keeps crashing with segfaults

[Eugenio Cano-Manuel Mendoza]

Hi,

Sorry I wasn't clear enough.

-The first time I experienced the bug I had libexif 0.6.20-3 installed
and it was reproducible.

-After you asked me to downgrade I installed libexif 0.6.20-2, the bug
was still reproducible.

-I was later asked to try to get a trace from gdb, I have never
been able to get a trace of the bug because chromium kept crashing at
start-up, the traces that I've sent are from those crashes.

-Emmanuel pointed out that his browser was also experiencing those
crashes at start-up with --single-process enabled.

-I disabled all the plugins and executed chromium with and without
--single-process, I haven't been able to reproduce it since then. The
only way to make it crash is using gdb and --single-process (but it crashes
at start-up which makes me think is something unrelated to this bug).

I think the segfaults were something related to a plugin since I haven't
been
able to reproduce it since I disabled them.
