This is an interesting bug since it is likely the cause of many other suspicious python crashes in blender. sys.last_traceback would store references to PyObjects at the point of the crash. it would only free these when sys.last_traceback was set again or on exit. This caused many crashes in the BGE while testing since python would end up freeing invalid game objects - When running scripts with errors, Blender would crash every 2-5 runs - in my test just now it crashed after 4 trys. It could also segfault blender, when (for eg) you run a script that has objects referenced. then load a new file and run another script that raises an error. In this case all the invalid Blender-Object's user counts would be decremented, even though none of the pointers were still valid.
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/community/get-involved Community: http://www.blender.org/Community Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender Documentation: http://www.blender.org/education-help Bug tracker: http://www.blender.org/development/report-a-bug Feature request tracker: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Requests
