as excerpted:
Like for past few years until earlier this year, pan always crashes fast
again (on Slackware64 15+current GNU/Linux).
Pan always says something like this before crashing: (pan:16759):
Gtk-CRITICAL **: 19:23:47.724: IA__gtk_tree_view_column_set_fixed_width:
assertion 'fixed_width > 0' failed
What version of pan (FWIW I'm running live-git-master pan at the commit
shown in my headers, here)? And do you know or can you check whether it's
built against gtk2 or gtk3? (If you can't check the package deps try
running ldd /usr/bin/pan | grep gtk in a terminal, changing the path if
appropriate of course. Here I get libgtkspell3-3.so.0 and libgtk-3.so.0,
so it's a gtk3 build, not gtk2.)
Pan version 0.151, "Butcha", was released in late June. That should have
most of the fixes and be pretty stable (tho a quick look says there's more
than translations committed since then, but I'd say I've been stable since
about then or a bit earlier), but given distro release cycles and the fact
that (as a Gentooer) I don't know how current Slackware 15+current
actually is, I'd say 50/50 you're on something before that, and the fact
that you're still crashing increases the odds further, to I'd say 70/30
that you're running something without those bugfixes.
