* 1.9.2.0: Xwin SIGSEGV when font server should be queried

Hello,

I updated my Cygwin with the latest available from the "setup.exe".
Now XWin.exe gets a Signal 11 (Segmentation violation) when a font switch (-fn) is on the command line.

Command:
$ ssh -Y myaix "aixterm -fullcursor -geometry 81x30-125+93 -e /usr/local/bin/max.pl"
Is OK.

$ ssh -Y myaix "aixterm -fullcursor -geometry 81x30-125+93 -fn 6x10 -e /usr/local/bin/max.pl"
Fails.

I have a font server running on AIX6.1 and before the start this font server is added by xset command.
This worked well until the update.

Also the xlsfonts command of cygwin distribution causes XWin to SIGSEGV.

Also when specifying "-fp tcp/myfontserver:7100" on the XWin start line any X-Program will cause a SIGSEGV.

Regards

Burkhard

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Do you know which version of Xserver that worked you updated from?

Examining /var/log/setup.log and/or using setup to revert to the previous
version should tell you.

I'm afraid I'm not able to reproduce this (testing using an xfs running on
Solaris, I don't have access to AIX).

Can you please obtain a backtrace as follows:
1) Install gdb (for gdb) and sysvinit (for pidof) packages
2) Start XWin using your normal method
3) In a non-X terminal window, run gdb --pid=`pidof /usr/bin/XWin`
4) Type 'c' at the '(gdb)' prompt
5) Reproduce your crash
6) Type 'bt full' at the '(gdb)' prompt.

The previous version, that was stable for xorg-server was 1.8.2-1,
according to setup.log.

The gdb stack trace is not very talkative:
...
Loaded symbols for /usr/bin/cygXrender-1.dll
[Switching to thread 8788.0x2740]
(gdb) c
Continuing.
(no debugging symbols found)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to thread 8788.0x1178]
0x005508b5 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt full
#0  0x005508b5 in ?? ()

#1  0x0000000c in ?? ()
No symbol table info available.
#2  0x005fa120 in ?? ()
No symbol table info available.
#3  0x00000000 in ?? ()
No symbol table info available.

I will download current source and compile it with -g .

Something funny about it:
I had the "xset fp+ tcp/mystique:7100" commented out in the
.startxwinrc.
Then I started XWin, attached the gdb and issued the xset command from
within a AIX aixterm shell.
Then I started a window that has to use a font server font and it
worked.

Then I activated the xset command in the .startxwinrc again and the XWin
crashed again.
I keep on researching.

Sorry, I forgot that it was stripped.
To save you a bit of time, I've uploaded an unstripped build at [1]

[1] ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20101108-git-eb4deaf9bfbab023.exe.bz2

I did a bit of further reseach.

It looks like it does not have anything to do with the way the font server is queried, 
but rather the way the startup is done.

When I have the font server added during the XWin startup - either in the startxwin.bat, or a bash-script I call from there, the XWin SIGSEGVs.

When I let the XWin come up with a few of my fav screens, and I then add the font server either from a cygwin shell or from a client shell the font server is subsequently queried correctly and the SIGSEGV does not appear.

Strange.

Anyway.
Thanks for the exe to create a full stack trace.
Here it is:

I managed to work around it.

In the startup of XWin I start a few windows.
In one of them I add the font server after a bit of sleep to settle down
XWin.
Now the XWin does not SIGSEGV any more why so ever.

Here are the scripts I use to start up my X environment

Startxwin.bat:
@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0

REM that Cygwin is installed in a directory called 'cygwin' in the root
REM directory of the current drive.  You will only need to modify
REM CYGWIN_ROOT if you have installed Cygwin in another directory.  For
REM example, if you installed Cygwin in \foo\bar\baz\cygwin, you will
need 
REM to change \cygwin to \foo\bar\baz\cygwin.
REM

Rejoiced too early.

When I start an application that uses a font that is not on the font
server XWin crashes again with the same stack trace I already sent you.

Thanks for obtaining this backtrace.

With this and the startup script you posted, I have managed to reproduce the
problem.

It looks like this has been caused by the changes in Xserver 1.9 to fix a
different bug with xfs [1].  The problem is a use-after-free, so that probably
explains why it sometimes works if you do things in a different order.

I noticed that setup is only offering a choice of 1.9.0-2 or 1.9.2-1, which
isn't a very smart thing to do, so I've rearranged things so now 1.8.2-1
should be offered as the previous version.
