Bug Description

I built and installed an rpm of bzr-2.0.0 from source, but I am getting segfault when I try to do bzr st or bzr diff and a file exists in the tree which is not revisioned:

; bzr init foo
Created a standalone tree (format: 2a)
; cd foo/
; touch bar
; bzr st
Segmentation fault

Valgrind indicates it is a null access:
; valgrind /usr/bin/bzr st
... (python errors suppressed as python says they should be)

The function in question is:
static int __pyx_tp_traverse_21_dirstate_helpers_pyx_Reader(PyObject *o, visitproc v, void *a) {
  int e;
  struct __pyx_obj_21_dirstate_helpers_pyx_Reader *p = (struct __pyx_obj_21_dirstate_helpers_pyx_Reader *)o;

    e = (*v)(p->text, a); if (e) return e; // line 8401
  }
  return 0;
}

Since p-> have already been used I guess it has to be v that is NULL.

Sorry, that info was from the wrong .c-file, I didn't realise it's rebuilt as part of the rpm creation, here's the correct code:

static PyObject *__pyx_f_21_dirstate_helpers_pyx_13ProcessEntryC__loop_one_block(struct __pyx_obj_21_dirstate_helpers_pyx_ProcessEntryC *__pyx_v_self) {
      ...
      if (__pyx_1) {

        Py_INCREF(__pyx_v_result);
        __pyx_r = __pyx_v_result;
        goto __pyx_L0;
        goto __pyx_L26;
      }

__pyx_6 is not referenced in this part of code earlier... very strange

Ok, upgrade to latest pyrex version fixes the problem. The previous one was Pyrex-0.9.4-2.fc6, the new one is build from source, version 0.9.8.5.

Perhaps this is bug 276868 (fixed by blacklisting pyrex 0.9.4.1, so maybe we just need to expand the blacklisted version list)?

There was a known bug in 0.9.4-? for which setup.py explicitly forbid
building using that version.

if have_pyrex and pyrex_version == '0.9.4.1':

It seems our version checking didn't include 0.9.4-2 or whatever you
were building with. If you could give us the result of:

  from Pyrex.Compiler.Version import version
  print version

We can add that version of the compiler to the black list. (My guess it
is either '0.9.4' or '0.9.4.0' or something along those lines.) Perhaps
we should just blacklist all of 0.9.4?

makes sense, since the 2 is the rpm build-number
