Re: frequently updated pixbuf images disapear after a while

[rupert <rupertt gmail com>]

these are the  lines I get with bt
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread -1224288576 (LWP 6757)]
0xb73e46ad in fclose () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0  0xb73e46ad in fclose () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#1  0xb73ec43d in pclose () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#2  0x0804b9e8 in ?? ()

I think the 2 fclose and pclose are inthese 2 functions that get called by
the function which update the pixbuffs

gboolean crypto_mapper_check(gchar *data)
{
   gchar mapper_chk_cmd[128];

   sprintf(mapper_chk_cmd, MAPPER_PATH, data);

   FILE *fp = fopen(mapper_chk_cmd, "r");

   if(fp) {
       return TRUE;
   } else {
       return FALSE;
   }
   fclose(fp);
   return TRUE;
}

gboolean crypto_mount_check(gchar *data)
{
   gchar mount_chk_cmd[128];
   gchar buf[512];

   sprintf(mount_chk_cmd, MOUNT_PATH, data);

   FILE *pp = popen(mount_chk_cmd, "r");

   if(pp) {
       size_t got = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), pp);
       pclose(pp);
       if(got != 0) {
           return TRUE;
       } else {
           return FALSE;
       }
   }

   return TRUE;
}

so is something wrong here???

since the fclose is called after the function returns TRUE i think i t
doesnt get closed at all, but when i add a fclose before the 2 returns I get
a segfault right at the start of the programm. And this doesnt say why the
pclose fails.
