AboutSystem Crash

[netstar]

When using different fonts than the default e.g VL Gothic, the AboutSystem dialogue will cause a system crash when you run the application.

Is this with a recent revision ? I just tried with hrev39467 with VL Gothic and I got no crash. By the way, what do you mean with "System crash"? Can you give a backtrace or something ?

#4258 could be related. AFAIR AboutSystem with tahoma fonts randomly triggers app_server crash.

While trying to reproduce this with hrev39887, it doesn't failed first time, but after changing 5-6 times the default fonts and reopen a few time AboutSystem, I too got app_server to crash.

It panic on "getNumAvailable() == 0" assert, with this backtrace:

debugger()
__assert_fail()
BPrivate::hoardHeap::findAvailableSuperblock()
BPrivate::threadHeap::malloc()
malloc()

I can't reproduce this, does it still happen?

I can't reproduce this either. Please reopen if you can. Thanks.
