Bug#364494: eog: segfaults unpredictably when started from mutt

[Bram Senders]

Package: eog
Version: 2.14.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi there,

Since eog 2.14.0 is out, I sometimes get segfaults when trying to view
an image from within mutt.  Most of the time eog works fine, but
sometimes I get a segfault, either immediately when eog is started or
after a second or so.

At different times I get different messages in my terminal from eog when
it segfaults, but the message is always something like one of the
following three:

1:
---
No profile, not correcting
Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialogue
---

2:
---
No profile, not correcting
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x42c)!
Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialogue
---

3:
---
No profile, not correcting

(eog:9909): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: MTime or mime type not available

When I try to start eog again on the same image, sometimes I get another
segfault, and sometimes I don't.

I have never encountered this problem when starting eog from anywhere
other than within mutt, but most of the time I start eog it is from
within mutt, so I don't really know whether this problem occurs in other
uses.

Cheers,

Bram Senders
