Title:
  [Upstream] python2.7 crashed with SIGSEGV in Application::IsInMain()

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Fix Released
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python-uno

  3) What is expected to happen via a terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/789891/+attachment/2146841/+files/test.py
  && python test.py

  is it does not segfault.

  4) It segfaults.

  Reproducible in Natty:

  Precise:

  Original Reporter Comments:
  lsb_release -d
      Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1

  python-uno ersion: 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2

  The python script that causes this so small I can include it in line
  {{{
  #!/usr/bin/python
  import sys, uno, unohelper

  # get the uno component context from the PyUNO runtime
  ctx = uno.getComponentContext()
  smgr = ctx.ServiceManager
  xToolkit = smgr.createInstance( "com.sun.star.awt.Toolkit")
  unohelper.inspect(xToolkit, sys.stdout)
  }}}

  Saving this to a text file "test.py" and executing
      python test.py
  produces
      Segmentation fault

  I installed debugging symbols; here's the stack trace i got from gdb

  What should have happened:
      A meaningful exception (or no exception), justifying python as a quick-test tool for ideas.

  What did happen:
     Whether I wanted to or not, a headlong dive into Ububtu / Debian package management.

  First I posted

      https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdevelop/+question/40081
      How do I step through the source code of	installed packages?
  (thanks for your responses)
  and realised that
  1. It's quite uncommon for people to debug / step through installed binary packages - the de-facto approach is to build from source with debugging information and optimisation off, and step through that.
  2. kdbg / gdb has no way of knowing (that I can find) where the source code for a loaded library / program is, even with the debug info package for that package installed.
  3. sudo apt-get source <packagename> doesn't apply to OpenOffice.org - I got the following message when I tried:
      $ apt-get -s source openoffice.org-core
      NOTICE: 'openoffice.org' packaging is maintained in the 'Bzr' version control system at:
      http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/openoffice/2.4.1-hardy
      Please use:
      bzr get http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/openoffice/2.4.1-hardy
      to retrieve the latest (possible unreleased) updates to the package.
  4. According to the apt-get man page, in the "source" command section:
  "Note that source packages are not tracked like binary packages, they exist only in the current directory and are similar to downloading source tar balls.".
  5. <trawls the net some more> I found
      http://openoffice.debian.net/build.html
      Building OpenOffice.org 2.2.1 from the latest apt-gettable Debian sources
  It suggested that I
      apt-get update
      apt-get build-dep openoffice.org
      apt-get source openoffice.org
  (which doesn't apply to Ubuntu, I guess)
  In Ubuntu, OpenOffice.org is stored on Bazaar
  6. OpenOffice.org is stored on Bazaar in 'bzip2 compressed archives' so I couldn't just point gdb at the expanded source tree.
  sudo apt-get install bzr
  bzr get http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/openoffice/2.4.1-hardy
  for which I would need about 6GB of free disk space and (from previous experience).
      dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
  7. dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot failed as I needed to
  sudo apt-get install bison flex-old libpam0g-dev libxaw7-dev libfontconfig1-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libsm-dev libxt-dev libxext-dev libxtst-dev libice-dev libsane-dev libxrender-dev libcupsys2-dev libarchive-zip-perl libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev libxml2-dev libldap2-dev libexpat1-dev libgnomevfs2-dev fastjar imagemagick netpbm libxkbfile-dev libxinerama-dev x11proto-render-dev unixodbc-dev gperf libpq-dev libxrandr-dev translate-toolkit libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libdb4.6-dev java-gcj-compat-dev libgcj-bc libxalan2-java libjcommon-java libsac-java libxml-java libflute-1.3-jfree-java libpentaho-reporting-flow-engine-java liblayout-java libloader-java libformula-java librepository-java libfonts-java libjcommon-serializer-java xulrunner-1.9-dev dmake mono-mcs mono-gmcs libmono-dev mono-utils cli-common-dev mono-1.0-devel mono-2.0-devel libhunspell-dev libboost-dev libvigraimpex-dev libwpd8-dev libwps-dev libwpg-dev libicu-dev libxslt1-dev libcairo2-dev kdelibs4-dev libhsqldb-java bsh libdbus-glib-1-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libneon27-dev libgtk2.0-dev

  Actually dpkg-buildpackage included version constraints in brackets for the required packages. I won't repeat them here as I don't want to waste your time unnecessarily.
  From building it before on Fedora 8 this would take up most of the day on my puny 1GHz pentium III with only 512MB RAM.

  8. The recommended location for source files
      http://proton.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSRCSOURCECODE
      Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
  I found the section on
      /usr/src Source code (optional)
  I'm guessing that I need to install the source code here.

  Speaking of Fedora, kdbg integration is somewhat more integrated and will recommend
      debuginfo-install <package name>
  this downloads and installs debugging symbol information and the source code in a well known location.

  9. The debugging information in the debugging packages doesn't include
  source file and line number information.

  I eagerly look forward to a considered response.
