Hello.

The port "games/qudos" keeps running in a loop after exiting from the
main menu. This is because after calling exit() the program receives a
SIGSEGV signal, and the signal handler, after intercepting it, calls
exit() again.

I think it is a problem with the application itself, but I don't know
what to look for in the source code.

I have attached a 'gdb' backtrace.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Use _exit() instead of exit() in the handler. Aside question is whether
this handler is needed at all.



Hello.

Thank you for your reply.

I searched in the SVN repository and found it originally was _exit(),
but changed to exit() just before the release, and after that it was
backed out.

Yes, I guess the handler is not very useful (also it doesn't produce a
core file like the default one).

Best Regards,
Ale
