[Kstars-devel] crash when opening a new window

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

I'm trying to track down a crash when opening a new KStars window.  I suspect 
it may be related to the fact that KStarsData is now a singleton.  I don't 
know what happens here (kstars.cpp, line 71):

    kstarsData = KStarsData::Create( this );

when opening a second KStars window.  Does it return the original KStarsData 
object, or make a new one, since we are initializing a new KStars object?

Anyway, the crash usually happens immediately, but I've seen one instance 
where the splashscreen appeared and made it most of the way through its init 
cycle before crashing.  Backtraces show the crash is a segfault in 
ColorScheme::colorNamed(), which seems like a pretty odd place for a crash.

My current guess is that the original window's kstarsData object is getting 
messed up when initializing the new window's kstarsData.  But that's just a 
guess.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Jason
