[bug] openMSX-0.12.0 frequently crashes on exit when started from a shell

[sdsnatcher]

When started from a shell (or a script), openMSX-0.12.0 is randomly crashing on exit.

Tested on Mac OS-X 10.10.5.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. run openMSX.app/Contents/MacOS/openmsx from bash, or from a script

2. Perform some disk operations

3. Press CMD+Q to quit. openMSX will crash.

I attached the OS-X problem report below, to help to debug the problem.

The same issue happens when openMSX is started from NekoLauncher. But in this case it always crashes when quitting. No disk operation is needed.

Unfortunately this crash log doesn't contain much useful info, because the binary you are using has no debugging symbols included. Can you please build openMSX with debugging symbols (e.g. a devel or debug flavour) and then attach the crash log again?
With the current info it's completely unclear where in the code this crash happens and why.

[sdsnatcher]

Sorry, I have no development tools installed here other than the ones for MSX cross-development.

[MBilderbeek]

All tools are free, all it costs is some disk space... and a bit of time to install them. I've asked 'grauw' to try it out, but other than him, we have no developers with a Mac anymore. So we need your help if he can't reproduce it.

I’m always running from the command line, haven’t had any crashes recently. Using openMSX 0.12.0-144-g8b99ff9 [opt] with a turboR GT with ide extension (I don’t know if this qualifies as “disk”). Using OS X 10.11.4.

Can you try with a more recent build than 0.12? I do vaguely recall having a crash when quitting (something with an error message output that got cut off?), maybe this was fixed after the 0.12 release.

Otherwise there must be more to it; please list the machine configuration in openMSX (e.g. at some point there was an issue with the microsol diskdrive iirc), or anything else that may be a contributing factor.

It was this issue; #942. I’m not sure but I think it went away after I upgraded OS X, though it could’ve also been something else. It’s no longer occurring anyway.

Is this issue still valid, @sdsnatcher ?

[sdsnatcher]

OpenMSX-0.13.0 crashes like this much less than 0.12.0 did, but unfortunately it still crashes on exit from time to time.

I couldn't yet find a reproducible sequence of steps that would cause the new version to crash, though. From what I can say, it's happening in a pretty much random pattern.

@sdsnatcher did you also upgrade to a newer OS X in the mean time?

@sdsnatcher Any news?

[MBilderbeek]

@sdsnatcher Is this still an issue? I'm closing the issue, as there isn't any news and no other people have reported it. Please reopen if it is still an issue.
