Subject: Bug#14275: kmidi crashes
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=97303440329862

Package: kmidi
Version: >= 1.93
Severity: crash
Installed from: RPM \\\

Hello,

On my system (distribution: SuSE 7.0, i386, Kernel 2.2.16), \\\"kmidi\\\" from the KDE 2 multimedia package will invariably crash upon invocation.

The problem occurs under the following circumstances:

- kmidi is started with the graphical interface.
  When started with \\\"-id\\\", it kmidi works fine but in text 
  only.

- with KDE 2 versions prior to 1.93, the problem did not 
  occur.
  With any later version, kmidi does not run any more.
  (Using the kmidi version from the v1.92 package does not 
   work as the libraries v2.0 are not backward compatible.)

On invocation, kmidi produces the following output to 
stderr:

--- APPLICATION OUTPUT BEGINS ---

KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = kmidi path = <unknown>
Unable to start dr. konqi
Internal error: no pipe open.
ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error!

--- APPLICATION OUTPUT ENDS ---

Then the application exits.

I am not sure whether this is really a bug or if I\\\'m just doing something
wrong, since nobody else seems to have this problem.
