Description

NNTPGrab Qt 0.6.90 crashes while downloading.

I imported a NZB and began downloading, now it suddenly crashes during the download.
This hasn't happened with previous downloads.

The problem seems like an ordinary pointer error. (Accessing the wrong memory address.)

I tried to enable the logger, but are unable to do so. Checking 'Enabled' doesn't do anything, and it seems to 'forget' the 'On Startup' checkbox.

I'm also unable to use it in any other way than 'Standalone Server', the other fields and buttons are greyed out.

I attached the problem report as generated by my system.

Revision 1725
Added by Alguno over 2 years ago

- The nntpconnection_process_body_data function was called recursively too often. This should reduce the amount of recursion. Refs #50
- Only show the filename without the complete path in the GUI while repairing and unpacking files
- Single file archives didn't get deleted automatically after an unpack. Fixed
- Added a new test to test_regex testcase of a situation where PAR2 files aren't detected automatically

Thanks for the bugreport.
Unfortunately the report itself doesn't contain enough information to determine the real cause of the crash, probably due to some compiler optimalisations.
In the report I noticed a strange recursion situation. I just applied a change to fix this recursion (r1725).

I also applied a change in the Mac OS X build script, so that no compiler optimalisations will be used from r1725 on.
Could you please try to reproduce the crash again with a snapshot build of r1725 (or higher) which can be found at http://snapshots.nntpgrab.nl/osx/unstable-trunk/ and upload a new crash report?

Have you been able to reproduce the crash with one of the latest snapshots available at http://snapshots.nntpgrab.nl/osx/unstable-trunk/ ?
If not, I'll close this bugreport

The problem does not exist in the latest snapshot.
Sorry for taking so long, have been really busy lately.
Thanks for the quick response and fix.
Keep up the good work!
