We see doublefree memory corruption here, introduced by spurious g_free(error_file_name) of changeset:0c17219b2ab5cb5fe2e73f8d7cc9c11c755a3ae4 (syntax.c file)

The rest of code seems to store real syntax file name there.

  • Blocking 1864 added

(In #1864) Replying to yury_t:

It definitely seems now that these editor crashes are eliminated with the #1906 patch! (I told you it's the coloured syntax processing :)

Heh, true. One of compatibility paths to Syntax was handles incorrectly. Fresh mc users won't suffer from it, so it was hard to reproduce.

Thanks again!
