| Today I went to upgrade from the stable 4.43 version to MUSH 4.45. It did not go so well.
System:
Linux kernel 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux
Wine 1.01 stable
MUSHclient 4.45
MUSHclient starts up, and seemingly runs fine. However, when I went to disconnect from my MUD it froze horribly. I had to force kill the client. I tried to reproduce the error again, and it indeed froze my entire xorg. Only by forcing an x-windows restart, was I able to restore my desktop to usability.
Tracing the issue, I ran MUSH445 in WINEs emulated desktop, and started debugging. I logged into the MUD then promptly quit. Again, the error arose, but as MUSHclient was in the virtual desktop I was able to close it and view the console.
This is the error returned then disconnected from the MUD :
Debugging interfaces not available - debugging is disabled..
err:menu:MENU_GetSysMenu failed to load system menu!
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in USER heap 10d7 for 80 bytes
err:menu:MENU_GetSysMenu failed to load system menu!
<SNIP> Above message about 400 times
err:seh:setup_exception_record stack overflow 816 bytes in thread 0009 eip f748fd15 esp 00231000 stack 0x230000-0x231000-0x330000
chris@penquin:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MUSHclient445$
The error does not occur in MUSHclient 4.43

| How does v4.44 fare?
Also, unable to allocate heap memory points at either a pretty serious memory leak, or a bug in Wine. Or a combination of the two.
Edit: Looking at v4.44 release notes, I spot this:
Quote:
5. Fixed a bug where, under newer versions of Visual Studio, MUSHclient would crash when disconnecting from a world (this doesn't apply to the downloaded version, but affected people trying to compile from the source).
Seems like Wine has the reverse bug somehow? o.O | | Top |

| I downloaded the 4.45 from the forums thread, not compiled on my own though.
Haven't tested 4.44, though if something changed in THAT version towards fixing a crash, and in 4.45 it's still crashing; all I can assume is that that fix, is causing the crash in 4.45.
As I said, it doesn't occur in 4.43, so definitely an issue in a version paste that. |

| | You can find v4.44 in the same location as the v4.45 one. Just change the number in the link. (Or remove the file alltogether, you'll get a listing of all MUSHclient releases in history.. or well, everything but the pretty early releases). | | Top |

| My testing under Ubuntu seems to indicate that the problem started in version 4.44, in particular CPU activity seems to increase on a disconnect, and the disconnection is not completed.
From the release notes for 4.44, I see this:
2. Changed the processing of a MUD disconnection message to attempt to retrieve any outstanding packets before closing the connection. See http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=9696
I suspect this is the cause, and will look into it. Perhaps the "attempt to retrieve any outstanding packets" goes into a loop. |

| | I was right, it was that change that did it. I have rolled that back in version 4.46. It was only fixing a minor issue anyway, and indeed I never got confirmation that it fixed anything. |

It didn't, no. I completely forgot about it or I'd have mentioned it to you. *cough* |
