segmentation fault

I've just performed a network installation using the boot-nonfree.iso.

At the moment when the system asked to select the keyboard (just before the partitioning step), I clicked on the Help button and further also on a link to a Wikipedia page about keyboards. The page opened fine, but when I wanted to close that Internet page and return to the installation, the installer failed and had to start it again with a reboot. Sorry about the poor quality of the attached image.

There's been fixed in perl-Glib.
Can you still reproduce with installer from today?
eg: http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/stage2/

GDB trace with symbols

It's easily reproductable with drakx-in-chroot. eg:

drakx-in-chroot /distro_root /path_to_install --gdb

Probably a webkit bug.
Workarounded in SVN

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED
