!Sunfish UI crashes

I’m sure everyone knows about this issue. The second time the !Sunfish menus are accessed from the Icon Bar the UI process crashes.

If someone would be nice enough to tell me how to get a saved copy of the on screen postmortem I would happily post it.
It crashes on a Pi Zero, B, and 3 that I know of.

People are going to ask for a few more details on the installation (ROM revision date etc.) and things like whether there is anything in the ZeroPain log file.

Doesn’t crash for me
Iyonix 5.16, Sunfish 2.05 (latest version)
It does depend on stuff (see Help) from Unixlib, so this is probably where the issue lies.

Tristan: Do you use the recompiled version of the SunFish frontend from Chris Gransden? See http://www.cgransden.co.uk/downloads.html

Using !Sunfish 2.05 (08 Jun 2013), the armv6+ build.

In !Sunfish.!Run redirect the postmortem to a file.

If "%*0" = "" Then Run <Sunfish$Dir>.!RunImage 2> <Sunfish$Dir>.errors

Shortly afterwards …

Internal error: abort on data transfer at &0005E340

Reproduced on the Titanium and RPi3.

To avoid other confusion, this version of !Sunfish uses SharedClibrary despite what is in its !Help.

OTOH, running a low vector ROM on the Titanium Sunfish looking good, so far that is.

I just compared and David Pitt’s output is about the same as mine, so it’s not worth posting unless someone wants it.

Steffen Huber, I had absolutely no idea that version existed until you said so. The version that comes with everything RO, even the version that GCCSDK autobuilder downloads and packages is the obsolete version.
I just tried the version you pointed me to and it doesn’t crash! This is glorious!!

The question still remains why a broken version is widely distributed and there are no references to a working version.

Oh wait… It crashed again. Same postmortem.
I’ve managed to duplicate it by middle clicking on the Icon bar icon, then left clicking outside the menu.
This is what I get when that happens.

As for what RO build… er… Built from the SVN source about a week ago with the SMP branch modules.
However, Sunfish has consistently died in the same way with every version of RO I have used for at least the last year. Since I started using it really.

e: apparently build date was 6 December. Time flies during silly season I guess.
