[Pkg-gnu-smalltalk-devel] Bug#691880: gnu-smalltalk-browser: Crash on startup: invalid C call-out

[Jakub Pavlík jn.]

Package: gnu-smalltalk-browser
Version: 3.2.4-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

there seems to be some discrepancy between the current interface of some underlying C library
and the Smalltalk layer that uses it.

Starting gst-browser without arguments results in a crash. Output listing follows.

I must admit being a complete Smalltalk newbie (not having programmed anything yet, not understanding
concepts of the language at all, ...), so I possibly miss something important.
If you need any more information from me, I'll do my best to provide it.

Greetings,
Jakub P.
