Subject: 23.2; Segfault with csv-mode
Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2012 12:29:46 -0400

(1) Load the following csv-mode.el:

    http://jordi.platinum.linux.pl/emacs-bug/csv-mode.el

(2) Open the following csv file:

    http://jordi.platinum.linux.pl/emacs-bug/foo.csv

(3) Align all fields: C-x h C-c C-a

(4) Attempt to sort them: M-x csv-sort-fields <RET>

In Emacs 23, this incurred an immediate crash. At bzr revno: 108512,
after attempting to move the point a little (C-e, C-a, C-p, C-n, maybe
C-g), I obtained the following stack trace:

In frame 0, can you show what does the following GDB command print?

 (gdb) p it->current

I can reproduce it quite reliably. I'm not sure I'm at the correct
revision, but I just tried this again at revno 108581 with the same
results.

I tried 108257 (which seems to be from May 17? Not "today"?), and also
got the same result. It seems to take a little while for the segfault
to occur. Trying a few motion keys (C-n, C-e, C-a) seems to trigger it
for me.

Sure thing:

Are there this many overlay strings in the buffer at character
position 1?  If not, this huge number is probably garbage, and is the
cause for the segfault.

Btw, when I tried your recipe, Emacs asked me about the column to sort
by, which was not in your recipe.  Can you double-check if your recipe
is 100% correct and does not omit any important details?

I don't understand Emacs internals. What's an overlay string, and how
do I count it?

I thought the <RET> handled it for me, because the function
csv-sort-fields queries you for a value. Yes, the default of 1 is
what's necessary.

Thanks again,

It's an overlay with a before-string or an after-string property.  You
should be able to see that with "M-x describe-text-properties RET", I
think, as well as in the code of the mode you are using.

OK, I will try the recipe again when I have time.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this no matter how hard I try.  The worst
problem I see is some issue with cursor positioning on the long first
line in the buffer.  I will try fixing that, in the hope that doing so
will solve whatever reasons for your crashes.

Correction: I succeeded in reproducing this (on GNU/Linux TTY
session).

Heh, it looks like we never had more than 16 overlay strings loaded at
the same time in the last 4.5 years since the offending code was
introduced (in Emacs 22.2)...  csv-mode has some bug whereby no less
than 2479 overlay strings are present at buffer position 1, which
triggers the bug.

Fixed in revision 108625 on the trunk.

Thanks, I confirm this fixes the crash.

Now I can go and fix csv-mode.el...

Can I buy you lunch somehow? Thanks for fixing this bug...

Thanks for testing, and for reporting this blunder in the first place.

Some day, perhaps.  I'll hold you to it ;-)
