[LAU] Rosegarden crashes - anything obvious to look for?

[Matthew Smith]

Hi Folks

Before I go through the painful process of collecting debug data and 
filing bugs against Rosegarden, I thought I'd see if anyone was familiar 
with the issues I am experiencing.

Having finally got various external issues resolved, earlier today I 
attempted to record and play back a track on Rosegarden.  I was using 
the current Gentoo ebuild, being the rather old version 1.5.1.  I 
experienced a crash when trying to replay a track so upgraded to the 
latest masked ebuild, 1.7.2 - same issues.

I have managed to get crashes when:

1) I attempt to play back a track.
2) I attempt to create a new track when there is a change to what is 
already there.  So, I do 'new', I get 'the current file has been 
modified, do you want to save it?'.  I say 'no', it crashes.

When the crashes occur, I get a KDE crash handler pop up (I never even 
knew this was a KDE application) telling me that rosegardensequencer 
crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).  After a short time, I also 
get a message from Rosegarden saying 'The Rosegarden sequencer process 
has exited unexpectedly.'

Whilst these messages are popping up, Rosegarden disappears from the 
Connections window of qjackctl.

The Rosegarden window itself, however, remains present.

Is this a behaviour with which anyone else is familiar?  Thought I'd ask 
around before running off and filing bug reports.

Just in case it's relevant, I'm actually running the Fluxbox window 
manager, but KDE is installed and I run other KDE applications without 
issues - I use Konsole all the time as I have never found another 
terminal application that I like 1/1000th as much.

Now up to about 20 hours total getting all this set up - almost makes me 
wish I'd stuck to analogue!  (Or my Atari.)

Cheers

M
