segfault in non-ascii directory about bitcoin

[dooglus]

I'm not able to reproduce this in ubuntu 11.04's development version, but I'm using an English locale.

Could you show me the output of running this in a terminal please, so I can better reproduce your environment?

env | grep -i -e 'c[sz]' -e lc

remove anything private from the output, should there be something you don't want to post.

Thanks.

Chris.

When I try to make a folder like you have, it becomes: /home/chris/Sta¾ené/bitcoin/ - the z hacek comes out like a 3/4 on my screen.

LANG=cs_CZ.utf8
GDM_LANG=cs_CZ.utf8

I still can't reproduce it, even with those settings.

Are you using the official build? 32 or 64 bit? When does it crash; before or after the GUI appears? What's the last few lines in ~/.bitcoin/debug.log when it crashes? Can you get a gdb backtrace?

I have confirmed the bug on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. It's triggered when /proc/self/exe links to a UTF-8 path. Behavior differs depending on LANG setting.

• LANG=C: bitcoin runs just fine
• LANG=DE: assertion fails../src/common/intl.cpp(2554): assert "!m_strShort.empty()" failed in AddCatalog(): must initialize catalog first
• LANG=cs_CZ.utf8: bitcoin silently segfaults, gdb shows corrupted stack trace.

strace suggests it happens during or right after this line, I think it's a wxLocale bug.

src/ui.cpp: g_locale.AddCatalog("wxstd"); // wxWidgets standard translations, if any

Was this a wx issue? Can anyone please re-test this with 0.5.0+?
