[Bug 452531] [NEW] xvcg crashes on startup

[iWatch]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vcg

I didn't realize xvcg was already on my machine. I DLed a .deb package and installed it. (It failed to install with the error "already installed") I have a simple .vcg file (structs.vcg from the vcg web site) on startup it opens a new window then segv's.
I then DLed source and compiled it. The compiled version does the exact same thing. using gdb/ddd and single stepping it appears to have blown the stack in the InitDevices() routine, because a printf at the end of InitDevices prints, but a printf immediately after the call to InitDevices() does not print, and in fact, single stepping through the return of InitDevices() causes the segv.
