Problem description: | |
The program db2top is using 'curses' for handling it's display. If the user changes the size of the db2top window while db2top is within one of the curses functions this might end up with SEGV. The chances of hitting this are very small because it's very unlikely to catch the resize while executing some of the curses functions. If that happens various stack could be seen but you should see a function 'interrupt' being called from a curses function. Below is a stack example: wclrtoeol(??) at 0x90000000b1922a4 wclrtobot(??) at 0x90000000b1928b0 werase(??) at 0x90000000b192ca4 wclear(??) at 0x90000000b19b994 clear() at 0x90000000b19b934 finish() at 0x10000233c interrupt(??, ??, ??) at 0x10005689c _updateln(??) at 0x90000000b18e7a8 wrefresh(??) at 0x90000000b191928 do_refresh() at 0x100022500 do_foreground() at 0x10000112c main() at 0x1000009fc | |
