When I follow your recipe (touch .the_test.swp; nano the_test), I don't get a segfault but just an error message on the status bar:
[ Error reading lock file ./.the_test.swp: Not enough data read ] Please try the command 'nano --ignore --locking the_test' instead (to test only the locking mechanism and exclude any other settings). And please paste the output of the command 'locale' -- because pl_PL.UTF does not look like the name of a locale to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539627 Title: Buffer underflow in nano 2.4.2-1ubuntu0.1 causes SIGSEGV To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nano/+bug/1539627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
