Summary liferea segfaults after creating a webkit view

Liferea is a news reader for linux. I am not a liferea developer, just a user. When I select a feed item, it segfaults with the following stack trace. https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=287811 I'm using webkit-gtk-1.4.3 and libpng-1.5.5. I am reporting this here because the liferea guys looked at the stack trace and said the problem is likely to be between webkit-gtk and libpng. The original bug I reported with the gentoo guys is here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384531

Forgot to write, I'm not sure if this is the correct component and version. It compiles with --disable-webgl --with-gtk=2.0 --disable-webkit2 --disable-web-sockets

A curious stack trace. Do you know what PNG image is being loaded?

Not sure. It always happens when I select a feed. It happens with all default feeds. Favicons and other things are rendered correctly, though. It looks like it crashes when it tries to initialize a webkit view at all. I'll experiment around a bit to see where the problem is. Can you already say if this might be a webkit problem at all? As I said, I'm neither a liferea dev nor have I ever used webkit.

Is there anyway you can confirm if this problem still exists with a more recent version of WebKitGTK+? We are currently at 1.8.

This bug does not occur with webkit-gtk-1.8.1. I guess this was a transient issue and can be closed now.
