reassign 580446 uim-prime found 580446 1:1.5.7-1 thanks Looks like the proximate cause of prime dying repeatedly is that after something goes wrong once (I haven't spotted what that might be), uim-prime re-spawns prime and passes it an empty line, which causes prime to immediately exit, so uim-prime re-spawns prime and passes it another empty line ... That doesn't seem like a bug in prime so much as a bug in uim-prime, so I'm reassigning it there.
I'm seeing prime_send_command being called repeatedly from the Scheme
bits, passed "" every time. Each time, it discovers that the child prime
process has exited, so it starts a new one and hands it "\n".
(gdb) bt full 2
#0 uim_ipc_send_command (pid=0x7fbfd386cce0, read_fp=0x7fbfd386cce8,
write_fp=0x7fbfd386ccf0, command=0x7fbfd366c830 "prime", str=0xbafea0 "\n")
at uim-ipc.c:250
tmp = <value optimized out>
buf = (garbage)
#1 0x00007fbfd366c42c in prime_send_command (str_=<value optimized out>)
at prime.c:213
str = 0xba41c0 ""
result = <value optimized out>
ret = <value optimized out>
I see that prime-send-command in scm/prime.scm sends empty strings if it
gets an empty string on the first try, so I assume that's what happened.
I'm getting too lost in the layers of Scheme source to work out how it
got there, but here's where UIM entered the Scheme interpreter:
#44 0x00007fbfd3f592b1 in uim_scm_callf (proc=<value optimized out>,

These stack traces are from uim 1:1.5.7-1.
When this bug triggers from gnome-panel, it hangs my X session startup,
so in those cases I have to keep logging in until it works. This time it
hung empathy instead, making it easier to examine with gdb. Since it's a
pretty inconvenient bug, if there's anything I can do to help with
troubleshooting, please let me know. Thanks!
