[Linux] Frequent Crashes

[the-drunk-coder]

Protacle is frequently crashing on my system (Arch Linux /w awsome wm)

Here's the terminal output:

Looks like it's, at some point, loading a dynamic library from the host into the same process. This crashes due to glibc version mismatches.

You'll have to run under lsof to get the name of the library that's causing the problem:

strace -e trace=open,openat portacle/lin/bin/emacs

Another observation regarding this issue: the crashes seem to be "unevenly distributed" over time. That is, one day, i get 5 crashes in a row, usually in the same situation (my guess is that it has something to do with displaying context help). After that it can be totally stable for a couple of days.

That being said, I haven'r reproduced it with strace running as of today.
