more info on segfaulting..

[Kevin Miller <sar original net>]

I've ran strace on a panel, and gnomecc starting up, and got the strace
output from it.. at the bottom of both, just before the segfault is:

open("/opt/gnome/etc/orbitrc", O_RDONLY) = 5
fstat(5, {st_mode=0, st_size=0, ...})   = 0
mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x400240
00
read(5, "", 4096)                       = 0
close(5)                                = 0
munmap(0x40024000, 4096)                = 0
open("^^a^L@8  @Xw\\^D@h^U^O@^X^O@V^H^HQ@ DQ@x^Ha^H@", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL)     = 0
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 5
bind(5, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 
16) = 0
fcntl(5, F_GETFD)                       = 0
fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC|0x800)     = 0
getsockname(5, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1655),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.
0.0.0")}, [16]) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="omeganine", ...}) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---

its trying to open the file "^^a^L@8  @Xw\\^D@h^U^O@^X^O@V^H^HQ@
DQ@x^Ha^H@"  with no success.. I think i'd have problems opening it too.

any suggestions yet?
