random crash of Linux graphic boincmgr when closing

[mikus]

The new 64-bit (Ubuntu) boincmgr 5.10.28 has the same problem as the boincmgr I was compiling myself from trunk: it randomly crashes (sometimes yes, sometimes no) *after* I click on the X in the title bar to close it. (64-bit Ubuntu 7.10 system)

Output to console (I manually added some line breaks here):

mikus@maris:~/boinc$ ./boincmgr connect: Operation now in progress

SIGSEGV: segmentation violation Stack trace (3 frames):

./boincmgr.nov[0x525b69]

/lib/libpthread.so.0[0x2b2e0e51e100]

Exiting...

Don't be confused by the "boincmgr.nov" in the trace -- that's how I distinguished your boincmgr from mine. The executable *is* the one from 5.10.28

The new 32-bit (Ubuntu) boincmgr has a similar problem. Attachment "528" (on 11/3) shows what had been output to the terminal on 32-bit SuSE 10.2 from which I started boincmgr. I'm not sure when which lines were written (terminal was hidden - did not look at it while I was interacting with the boincmgr window). The boincmgr window did not go away when I clicked on the X in its title bar -- I had to explicitly tell SuSE to kill the session.

I can confirm exactly same behavior on Fedora 8 64-bit.
