Bug #966
audtool segfaults in g_dbus_connection_close_sync() occasionally
0%
Description
Most of the crashes in the attachment happened to audtool called by my application, not manually. But today when I run `audtool help` from terminal, it displayed the help message and segfaulted. I don't know if versions other than 3.10.1 and 4.0.1 are affected, because my coredumpctl list goes back less than five months.

Updated by I cannot reproduce this. The backtrace is deep in some GLib code so it doesn't look like our bug at first glance.

Updated by audtool is one of the most common programs in my coredumpctl list. audtool runs only for a very short time, though many times every day on my system. So this launch frequency could be a reason it crashes relatively often. Or perhaps it's something about how audtool is built.

Well, the backtraces are all identical, and all within g_dbus_connection_close_sync(). I suspect there is a bug in that function -- maybe related to it being called in an atexit() handler.
To get to the root of this, someone will have to find a way to reliably reproduce it, and then spend some time debugging that call tree in GLib. I don't have the time to do this myself.

Has anyone else reproduced this in >1 year?

My current coredumpctl list starts on 2021-02-17 and contains no audtool entries. I think this issue can be closed. Must have been fixed somewhere, somehow.
