CHIRP

This may be the underlying issue in http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2905, as it was discovered in the same manner and with the same AnyTone driver.

When attempting to display (memory editor, export, etc) memory locations with invalid UTF-8 in the channel 'name' column, CHiRP will cause Python to seg fault with 'Bus error: 10'. The last message logged to console is a 'PangoWarning' emitted when trying to call gtk.

I am not familiar enough with the project to suggest a long-term fix but, for testing, I applied a quick patch to memedit.py to replace the invalid UTF strings, and confirmed this does stop CHiRP from crashing.

[output from attempted export]

chirp-daily-20151023.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ui/editorset.py:252: PangoWarning: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
  r = dialog.run()
Bus error: 10

[quick patch for testing]
