If one tries to open the accessory .aux file instead of the .adf, QGIS crashes:

Error:
GDAL Error 1: Can't find [[RasterDMS]] field in Eimg_Layer with block list.

Segmentation fault

I'm attaching the file causing the crash.

Paolo, this should be duplicate of #12748

can't reproduce this either. Which GDAL version is in use?

Paolo, can you test it with gdal 1.7? At mine, this one and #12748 seem to be related to gdal 1.6.x only.

Confirmed: it crashes with the above mentioned error with libgdal1-1.7.0 Version: 1.7.1-1 from Debian experimental. It crashes with error:

Error:
GDAL Error 4: @/home/paolo/Desktop/dem50.aux' not recognised as a supported file format.

During startup - Warning message:
�w�
Segmentation fault

with libgdal1-1.6.0 Version: 1.6.3-4 from Debian testing

So you get the same behaviour with both gdals 1.6.3 and 1.7.1?

Same behaviour, different message.

Yes, it crashes also when I have only the .aux:

Error:
GDAL Error 4: @/home/paolo/article.aux' not recognised as a supported file format.

Segmentation fault

gdalinfo -mm /home/paolo/article.aux gives the same error:

ERROR 4: @/home/paolo/article.aux' not recognised as a supported file format.

gdalinfo failed - unable to open '/home/paolo/article.aux'.

BTW, this bug renders the Image Boundary plugin unusable, if in the origin folder there are .tfw or other files.

could you provider a backtrace? Did you try without any plugins?

And a clean ~/.qgis...

You are right (as usual): it depends on some plugin - removing the it does not crash, putting them back it does. Now it's a long way to test every one.
