it would help me greatly to solve this if you could join us on IRC (#ardour at freenode.net). if not, please send me an email (paul@linuxaudiosystems.com) at a time when we can have a reasonably fast debugging session. did you build ardour from source, or get a binary package from somewhere?

I post here what we have discussed at the IRC.

I start ardour under KDE 3.3.2, with either "konsole -e /usr/bin/ardour" or "xterm -e /usr/bin/ardour", I open a session and when I close it, ardour crashes.

When I start ardour from the console directly typing "ardour", ardour doesn't crash when closing the session.

I also get this crash, as well as when importing audio ("Import audio (copy)" => soundfile selector => Filesystem => Import selected).

The crashes are most likely related, because they occur consistently under the same conditions;
* Starting from a terminal emulator => OK, no crash
* Starting from within gdb => OK, no crash (unfortunately...) :/
* Starting without a terminal => CRASH
* Starting with "[terminal] -e /usr/bin/ardour" => CRASH

However, I do not think it is KDE related, as I get the same behaviour running under gnome (2.8.1) as well as different terminals.

Running ardour-gtk 0.9beta26 (also beta25) on debian unstable.
Using the debian binary package, and a version compiled from deb source.

well now I can't change the subject but...

yes it's not Kde's fault. The reason is that I used to run KDE with a certain kernel(standard) and fluxbox with another(low latency-optimized)...

after the note of kristian I have found that the bug depends on the kernel:
with kernel 2.6.9-2-686-smp (from debian testing) I get the crash
with kernel 2.6.10-1-multimedia-686-smp (from http://apt.agnula.org/demudi/) there's no problem...

However ardour is the only program which runs anormally with 2.6.9 kernel... quite strange.

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0410.2/2234.html

this is clearly a kernel issue. as the bugnotes indicate, moving to 2.6.10 will fix it.
