Constant Random Crashing
crzysdrs:
I am also seeing this issue, Gentoo Linux. I coincidentally also have a dual core system. This cairo bug makes code blocks completely unusable due to the consistency of crashes.
mandrav:
I think we can now safely attribute this bug to libcairo on dual core CPUs...
I know this doesn't make you feel any better, but at least it will be a starting point when the libcairo devs decide to look into it. I will try to nag them a bit...
(I haven't taken out the wx factor though)
kip:
I'm glad everyone's acknowledged the bug now. I've been in #cairo on freenode a few times. They are aware of it, but no one seems to care to fix it yet. If everyone who has noted the bug can confirm it with a note here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8104
...it may be enough to get the process in motion.

DrLock:
I have posted a few more details to the cairo bug report, this may even be a FreeType problem (It is a FT function that is returning the errors).
In the meantime here is a .deb for AMD64 machines that has the assert() commented out (and debugging printf added). There is another assert at line 563 that fails once in a while, but I haven't taken it out.

kip:
Thanks DrLock. I've already tried rebuilding with the assert removed. Checkout the bug report and follow the comments. I did some debugging and I think I've narrowed it down to a possible culprit font.
