[gps-devel] File dialog locks up on Windows 2k

[Chris Douty]

Howdy,

For the last couple of days at least CVS HEAD locks up on Win2k when I 
enter a file dialog trying to choose a project.  Actually I can enter 
the file dialog, but any attempt to change directories results in an 
"Application Not Responding" in the Task Manager.  I can only end task.

I built gps using MinGW gcc v3.4.1 (or v3.4.2) against a recent GtkAda 
cvs HEAD.  I was able to get a more functional gps from sources checked 
out on September 9th (or possibly updated on the 17th).  That version 
does not exhibit the lockup but it does just quit with no warning after 
doing some file editing.  :-|

I tried connecting to a hung instance today with gdb, but it did not 
reveal much to me.  It said that I had five threads, each of which only 
had _libkernel32_a_iname() in the backtrace.  Actually each thread had 
variety of depths of that function. Somehow I don't think that the 
default gdb 5.2.1 in MinGW is much help.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Start GPS from windows shell or MinSYS commandline
2) Select "Open existing project" and click "Browse"
3) Attempt to change directory in the resulting file dialog.  All 
buttons seem to lead to a locked app.

Thanks,
	Chris
