I'm afraid this is not the backtrace you want.  You need to ignore
SIGUSR2 and continue until the SIGSEGV:

(gdb) handle SIGUSR2 nostop noprint pass
(gdb) c
(gdb) bt

I'm running this on a headless machine and don't have libSDL installed (compiled with 
--disable-gfx-check) and I'll lay odds it's something weird here..
I'm getting this with Ubuntu guest also now, so it's easier for me to track down!

My sincerest apologies Andrzej, I'm not sure where my brain was when I wrote that!

Ok, this is a general VNC explosion. If I compile it with libSDL and run a standard SDL window over 
X then it works fine. As soon as I add -vnc :2 to the command line it blows up in the same place.

Is this the latest SVN?  There was a recent SEGV fix for VNC.

Yep
brad@srv-64:~/src/qemu$ svn up
At revision 4622.

It's very easily reproducible here, I'll have some time tomorrow to look at it closer and see if I 
can fix it.

Brad

How are you reproducing it?  With what client?

This seems related to a problem discussed here some time ago:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2007-10/msg00104.html

If it is so, to reproduce it just use a client without DesktopSize
pseudoencoding and tell the guest OS to scale down his window. A segfault
will follow in the next SetPixelFormat received by qemu.

Edu

P.S. (I don't know if my original patch already applies)

It was already sorta integrated by the looks of it.. but not completely.

Patch attached.

Thanks all!

Great question. I tried the realvnc based xvncviewer and the problem did not occur.

brad@bklaptop2:~$ xvnc4viewer --version

VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.1 for X - built Apr 16 2008 13:02:40
Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd.
See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC.


This one dies horribly. Apparently on resolution change, but not certainly.. It does always die on a 
screen mode change though.

brad@bklaptop2:~$ vncviewer --version
TightVNC viewer version 1.2.9
Ubuntu package : xtightvncviewer from 8.04

I'm just building the latest tightvnc from source to see if the issue is fixed there, but 
xtightvncviewer from Ubuntu 8.04 will certainly kill it.

Ok, this is compiled from source and still kills it dead.
