I think the bug is occuring in /aisleriot/sol.scm, where the garbage collector prematurely gabage collects the list of cards. Here is a patch we tried to create, to fix the bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=69406&action=view (The patch didn't solve the problem.) > In particular is there some specific bit of the C code > that you're concerned about? As described here, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342038 we think the bug is caused by premature garbage collection. When the cards get dragged the list of cards is kept purely on the C side of the code - hence there is an opportunity for them to get garbage collected. guile has some mechanisms for tracking its objects on the C side, but our code doesn't fall into that category (since the objects aren't kept on the stack, they're put in a list). - Andreas _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
