Wingz:Help!
Posted in 1993
Topics: General Discussion
Has anyone else experienced segmentation faults when trying to print a worksheet? Scenario: user starts Wingz, opens a new sheet, makes a single entry, selects "Print", accepts all defaults in the "Margins" dialog and press "OK", selects a printer from the next dialog, presses "OK", a segmentation fault occurs, and Wingz crashes. (Most users lose all their work at this point). Traces always end with lines similar to the following: stat ("/dev/ttyp7", 0xf7ffde28) = 0 close (8) = 0 open ("/etc/ttytab", 0, 0666) = 8 ioctl (8, 0x40125401, 0xf7ffdcd4) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) fstat (8, 0xf7ffdd48) = 0 read (8, "#\\n# @(#)ttytab 1.6 89/12/18 SMI\\n".., 8192) = 8192 lseek (8, -6760, 1) = 1432 close (8) = 0 open ("/etc/utmp", 0, 036736413320) = 8 lseek (8, 972, 0) = 972 read (8, "".., 36) = 36 close (8) = 0 open ("/etc/passwd", 0, 0666) = 8 ioctl (8, 0x40125401, 0xf7ffd974) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) fstat (8, 0xf7ffd9e8) = 0 read (8, "root:84No2U8ypHHdw:0:1:Operator:".., 8192) = 335 stat ("/dev/ttyp7", 0xf7ffde28) = 0 close (8) = 0 open ("/etc/ttytab", 0, 0666) = 8 ioctl (8, 0x40125401, 0xf7ffdcd4) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) fstat (8, 0xf7ffdd48) = 0 read (8, "#\\n# @(#)ttytab 1.6 89/12/18 SMI\\n".., 8192) = 8192 lseek (8, -6760, 1) = 1432 close (8) = 0 open ("/etc/utmp", 0, 036736413320) = 8 lseek (8, 972, 0) = 972 read (8, "".., 36) = 36 close (8) = 0 open ("/etc/passwd", 0, 0666) = 8 ioctl (8, 0x40125401, 0xf7ffd974) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) fstat (8, 0xf7ffd9e8) = 0 read (8, "root:xxxxxxxxxxxxx:0:1:Operator:".., 8192) = 335 (Why is it looking there, anyway?).
