Thread: two small bugs in the query tool

on a build from CVS HEAD on SUSE 9.1, LANG=en_US.UTF-8

- when starting the query tool with an empty sheet, then immediately
exiting via the file menu (without having entered any text, so the
"Do you want to save changes?" dialogue is not triggered) sometimes
I get segfaults, though I can't always reproduced them.

- when starting the query tool with an empty sheet and entering
non-ASCII characters
(such as German umlaut letters, e.g. 'ä') the following message pops up:  src/common/string.cpp(1060): assert "nLen !=
(size_t)-,1"failed. Do you want to stop the program? 

Selecting no or cancel doesn't seem to cause any problems.

I can't reproduce this. Please provide a stack trace if you can.

This is a wx problem; Thanks for reporting. A patch (1072408) is posted 
upstream.
To avoid the problem, you can compile without debugging. Alternatively, 
you may safely ignore the message.

Hmm, seems to have gone away. I presume something in my local
environment is / was screwed up, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

Another day, another computer: SUSE 9.0, wxWidgets 2.5.3, pgAdmin CVS
HEAD; I can reproduce the problem there too. It's _very_ sporadic. A
stack trace is appended.

This looks like a corrupted stack or so to me. frmQuery.cpp:259 is just 
a call to updateMenu(), which does very simple stuff.
You could try other gtk versions, other gcc versions/options, ...
Summarized: I don't have a good hint for you.
