liboil causes VIPS @7.18.1 (and possibly others) to crash on Snow Leopard

[andrew.hankinson@…]

VIPS (graphics/vips) builds successfully on 10.6 Snow Leopard, but when run on the command line it returns:

zsh: abort vips

A crash log is reported in the system log (hostname & username changed; otherwise verbatim):

Sep 27 17:04:38 hostname vips[95848]: [95848] stack overflow
Sep 27 17:04:38 hostname ReportCrash[95849]: Saved crash report for vips[95848] version ??? (???) to /Users/username/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/vips_2009-09-27-170438_Hostname-2.crash

The crash report is attached.

Build machine is Mac Pro x86_64, Snow Leopard 10.6.0, Macports 1.8.0

I'm seeing the same idea when trying to import gst in python (which comes from py26-gst-python); the crash is just like yours, in a call in liboil:

Should be fixed in r59291 (with liboil, so be sure to upgrade that).
