When I use iceweasel (firefox) to view intel website and use alt+tab to switch windows on zh_CN.GBK locale, the X crashed, but if on UTF-8 locale, it work well.
Debian SID + FVWM 2.5.18
Thank you.
Is it X that crashed? Or did an application die and take X with it? Is there a core file from which you can provide a backtrace? [1] Can you see if the problem is reproducable using FVWM 2.5.21 (since this is the latest Unstable FVWM version.)
– Thomas Adam
[1] You might have to ensure you allow corefile creation:
ulimit -c 90000Thank you.
It’s X crashed, and I don’t see any core file.
I will try 2.5.21 in some time.
I have tried 2.5.21, but it’s same as 2.5.18, and there is no core file also.
How about Firefox? Maybe it is a bug of IceWeasle.
It not because of Firefox. It is because the fvwm(zh_CN.GBK) can’t deal with the some character which fvwm can’t display, for example if the Chinese filename of UTF encoding, and my locale is zh_CN.GBK, it will crash.
And what version of FVWM is this on? Look for a corefile.
– Thomas Adam
Thank you. For example fvwm will crash when visting intel.com/software/products/support/.

Thank you.
I have rebuiled fvwm from the fvwm source modified by debian, and add -g(mparams = CFLAGS="-O2 -g") to configure configure.ac Makefile.{am,in}, debian/Makefile.{am,in}.

OK – I see the error, although it’s in a slightly odd place. Can you keep your locale settings as they are (i.e. zh_CN.GBK) and open FvwmConsole, typing:
PrintInfo Locale 2The output is going to either appear in FvwmConsole, or in ~/.xsession-errors if you’ve redirected any output, for instance.

Thank you.
Please see: pastebin.ca/1259165.
Some one said:
modify fvwm-2.5.26/libs/Ficonv.c:
In the “convert_charsets” function before “Ficonv_open” add “//TRANSLIT” after “out_charset” and “in_charset”.
char my_out_charset[256];
char my_in_charset[256];
sprintf(my_out_charset, "%s//TRANSLIT", out_charset);
sprintf(my_in_charset, "%s//TRANSLIT", in_charset);
cd = Ficonv_open(my_out_charset, my_in_charset);
The reason is when fvwm calling iconv, if iconv has some thing wrong, there will be a NULL array, when calling this array, it will cause segfault.
I have tested, it work well.
What is the significance of “//TRANSLIT”? Does it mean something specific to iconv? If the only reason you’ve added it is to avoid passing in NULL, this is completely the wrong thing to do.
– Thomas Adam
gnu.org/software/libiconv/do … pen.3.html
When the string “//TRANSLIT” is appended to tocode, transliteration is activated. This means that when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several characters that look similar to the original character.
