Sebastian,

I will be very happy to try to get a valgrind log for you.

My limited understanding of the problem is that I have possibly uncovered a
bug in the apport system which is used to capture information on program
crashes, parcel up that information and pass it to the launchpad bug
management system.  On the other hand it may be that my system has some sort
of corruption, memory error or disk overwrite, which means that the apparent
problem can't be solved by the programmer.

You would like me to download and install a new version of the library
'program' libgtk2.0-0 which includes debugging symbols, as well as the
valgrind package.  Then remove any old valgrind logs.

I should then enter the command shown at point 3 of the wiki article with
/usr/bin/python as the <program> and /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk as the
<arguments>.

Next step is to try to reproduce the crash.  If I succeed I package up the
log files and attach the complete valgrind report to the existing bug
report.

Is this correct, or have I gone down the wrong track?

I am still not sure exactly what I did to cause the crash in the first
place, although I can probably repeat a crash if I am given a clue on which
program may have initiated it.  Is there enough information in the material
supplied to get me started?

I will not update my system until we resolve the issue or dismiss it as a
furphy.  I have a Dapper system that I use for day to day use so it is no
great inconvenience.

Regards

Warwick Lill
