My Surf is no angel, it sometimes hangs and sometimes vanishes, but it pulled up that website perfectly. I tried it both with tabbed and untapped surf, and on untabbed surf I put 12345 in the sendungsnummer field and clicked the red thing below it, and it tried to look it up. So we have the problem in a vice. It works for me and fails for you. Let's exploit the differences. I see a few obvious ones: * I compiled from scratch, you probably installed from package * I'm on Void Linux, you're on Devuan * I have gdb installed, you might not Gdb is important because Surf invokes it when it encounters certain problems. It would be pretty easy for you to compile a parallel copy, in /usr/local/bin, naming it something different, and see whether the same thing happens. If not start exploiting the differences til you understand the nature of the failure. Make sure similar problems don't occur on your other browsers with this page. Maybe it's an indication of some system problem. One more thing. If you really want to solve it, you could wget a copy locally, see if the segfault occurs with that, and then by halves cut away body code until the problem goes away, put back, and slowly narrow it down to one piece of body code that can toggle the segfault on and off. I'd suspect that nice rotating background. <rant> This page is what you get when you totally prioritize pretty over function. What a pretty page: Pretty colors, pretty women, happy interiors, lots of content. Just one problem: It segfaults on some users' browsers. I bet when you pull up http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/surf.htm it doesn't segfault or do anything stupid. That's what happens when you design for function. </rant> SteveT Steve Litt March 2017 featured book: Troubleshooting: Why Bother? http://www.troubleshooters.com/twb _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
