[Xournal-devel] xournal crash

[Arian S. <ar...@sa...>]

Hi all,

I had xournal crashing on me this morning. The document I was writing was new, so was completely lost. happened after about 14 min oft quite fast writing (notetaking during lecture). Might have been something like an Out-Of-Memory kill, the machine was heavily swapping before crash ('Heavy' as in system freezes for several seconds swapping to an SSD).
Another thing I noticed: I usually have the shape recognizer enabled, and sometimes with short lines it recognizes huge shapes (10 pixels -> 200 pixels, very roughly and heavily varying). I could imagine that an extremely huge shape was recognized, that just blew out of RAM?
These are all information (I think) I have of the crash:

dmesg:
[36032.805679] traps: xournal[9685] trap int3 ip:7f9acdba6e8d sp:7fff18cf51b0 error:0

xsession-errors:
(xournal:9685): GLib-ERROR **: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.4/./glib/gmem.c:165: failed to allocate 3667587280 bytes

this is xournal 0.4.7 from debian jessie on amd64.

I don't think I can reproduce this bug. I use xournal exactly like this for several years for most note-taking for my studies, and I cannot remember another crash like this.
If there is something else I can provide on this please let me know.

Regards, Arian
