Bug 324490

Description Marti DeMore 2010-09-03 16:07:43 EDT

Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.5/ SWT 3.14

We have a large, complex SWT (not Eclipse) application which crashes randomly under RedHat Linux 5 after many hours of operation, whether the user is interacting with it or not, and whether it is idle or not.  The crash appears to be a memory deallocation or corruption problem that shows up in the libgobject library in either the  g_type_check_instance_is_a() function or the g_object_remove_weak_pointer() function. All of the hotspot logs look virtually alike. We are rebuilding our X libraries with debug to try to get more symbol information, but here is is a snippet typical hotspot log (I will attach others):

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
We have been unable to reproduce this problem in any simple configuration. To even see it, we must run multiple copies of our client, which is huge, with a spacecraft telemetry system which is even huger, and wait for the random error to occur. If we get a reproducable case, we will update this issue.
