Tk Source Code

The file selector (when called from my client app) often leads to a 
complete crash (using Tcl/Tk Aqua Runtime Jaguar), when 
browsing a directory. Usually happens, when some directory is 
clicked. (Might be coincidence: crash occurred quite often when 
working on a network volume. Very often happens when scrolling 
through a folder with mouse wheel.) 

Error occurrs with RSTTool 3.32 (www.wagsoft.com)

Humm...  I have had problems with haxies (though not Default 
Folder) a couple of times in the past and debugging these 
problems is pretty difficult.  I think you can tell the APE haxie 
daemon which apps not to try to inject code into, and it might be 
that Wish will have to be one of these...

OK, with my current configuration, the error seems to be gone. 
This may be due to my upgrade to Panther.

The other (IMHO more likely) explanation would be related to 
"Default Folder X" - I don't have that any more, but maybe you 
could check it out?
Default Folder is an extension for the file selector.
It has never caused trouble for me, so it's still possible that 
something's weird about the code in Tcl/Tk.

Humm, sorry for not looking at this for a while.  All the crashes 
are under a routine: MyNavEventProc.  From the address of this 
routine, it doesn't look like it comes from the Tk dylib.  This 
routine is around 0x1700000, and Tk is around 0xb000000...

Also, there isn't a MyNavEventProc in Wish.

Do you know where this routine comes from?

Can be reproduced even in version 8.4.2 on OS X 10.2.6. It 
crashes when I click on a folder in the file selector. It only 
happens for some folders, though.

Positive examples: (crash when going through Wish/Select 
Source)

So looks like the folder contents are not any different from 
others.

There has been a bug fix in that routine for 8.4.2, which may be
related.  Can you try if it is fixed in the latest version?

It even happens in the file browser used in the Wish Shell to select a 
source file. It consistently happens when I try to access /Volumes/dr 
(which is displayed in the file browser as /DR). This is an smb volume 
on another machine (running Jaguar as well).  mount says "//
dr@NADJA/DR on /Volumes/dr (nodev, nosuid, mounted by dr)". the 
contents of this drive are shown below. It's enough to click on "DR" to 
cause Wish (or Tcl or Tk) to crash.

I can't make this happen myself.  Can you send me a CrashReporter 
log?  To do this, open Console.app, and in the Crashes tab of the 
Preferences check Enable crash reporting.  Then when Tk crashes, it 
will dump a log file in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Wish Shell.crash.log

Add that to the bug.  Also, if you could send the path to the directories 
you are browsing (maybe there is some Unicode character or 
whatever...)

Thanks.
