[cairo] Re: 1.4.2 release planned for today, 1.4.4 in a few weeks

[Hugo Vincent]

Hi Baz,

The code below seems to replicate the crash; that is to say, even the  
simplest use of a radial gradient on Quartz crashes.

verbatim error: cairo.c:91: failed assertion `status >  
CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS && status <= CAIRO_STATUS_LAST_STATUS'

System Info:
Mac OS X 10.4.9 (on Intel Core 2 Duo), Xcode 2.4.1, Cairo 1.4.2  
[release]

Note, this code isn't exactly what I've been testing with, but I am  
100% confident the other stuff I have in my code, but not in the  
included code here, is not what is causing this crash. Like I said  
before, Rsvg renders correctly, assuming the SVG file has no radial  
gradients. Also, because both Rsvg (which uses the Cairo C api) and  
this code, which is using Cairomm, both crash in the same way, we can  
assume the problem isn't with Cairomm. Finally, if you render this  
code into a PNG file it works fine.

Cheers,
Hugo
