#1 gtodo-0.14 crashes with segmentation fault

[Theodoros V. Kalamatianos]

I tried gtodo-0.14 on my system. It compiles without
any problems, but when I try to run it I get the following:

$ gtodo
(nil) : Freed()
xmlMallocBreakpoint reached on block 0
Segmentation fault

Running under gdb gives out this:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 16384 (LWP 25738)]
0x40483893 in xmlMemFree () from /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
(gdb) bt
#0 0x40483893 in xmlMemFree () from /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
#1 0x00000000 in ?? ()

Right now most of my libraries do not have debugging
support, therefore I cannot get any more information
from gdb...

Library versions:

libxml2: 2.6.8
libxslt: 1.1.5
gconf2: 2.4.0.1

If there is any more info I can provide, let me know (a
followup here will do the trick)...

The following not-very-clean patch seems to work-around this
problem:

diff -uNr gtodo-0.14/libgtodo/libgtodo.h

LIBGTODO_ERROR_FAILED,

It simply protects all calls of xmlFree() against a null
argument...
