[Elecraft] KX3 Utility Segmentation Fault in Linux

[Thomas Kluge]

Hi Rob,

When I tried to start one of the utility programs today I got an error:

(k3util:2054): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_insert_internal:
assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed
I think this is just a warning but it was followed by a segfault...

All my Elecraft utility programs were affected (k3util, p3util,
kpautil).

I'm running Gentoo Linux which is up-to-date (most of the packets are
the stable versions) and I was not sure when it worked last time...
I've started to look a bit deeper into it and dmesg showed me first an
issue with the libexpat and then with libpng. I've downgraded both
packages to the following versions:
expat: from version 2.2.1 to 2.1.0-r4
libpng: from version 1.6.29 to 1.6.27

Now I still get the Glib-errors (warnings) in the console - but
everything works again. It might be the same problem the KX3util...

Best regards
Tom, DL3DTH
