awesome Crashes on Layout Change

In awesome, whenever I try to change to a certain layout (awful.layout.suit.tile.left), it crashes and outputs this to stderr: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/326350/

This has happened with my config only since the upgrade to version 3.4.9 (Smack). It worked fine with version 3.4.8 (Never Know).

How do I fix this?

rc.lua: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/326435/

The old config; works fine with awesome 3.4.8 (Never Know), but tiles incorrectly with awesome 3.4.9 (Smack):
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/332420/

The new config; In both versions, crashes upon changing to a specific layout:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/332422/

I had to downgrade to awesome 3.4.8 and revert to the old config to get it to work properly again. How do I fix this?

Re: awesome Crashes on Layout Change

Hmm, I use that same layout just fine.... You may want to run a debug on awesome or ask on their ML.

Re: awesome Crashes on Layout Change

But where is the difference between old and new? Just a bunch of comments!

When I ran your rc.lua nothing crashed on layout change. Also the crash you do have is not just some Lua error trace you would get with a broken rc.lua, it's more serious. You can repackage your awesome while adding a few CFLAGS then pull it through gdb and open a bug report with the result. Here are instructions https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Debugging Thank you.

You need to install an RTFM interface.

I know; that's why I don't get it.

Anyway, here is the backtrace: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/333368/

[2011-02-06T18:22-0600] Update: ...and with the new config: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/333375/

[2011-02-06T18:28-0600] Update: ...and stderr output with new config: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/333376/

[2011-02-06T18:47-0600] Update: Also note that the unmodified default config does not have this problem.

[2011-02-06T19:32-0600] Update: I found the problem. It happens when too many of these keybindings are enabled (lines 246–253):

    awful.key({ modkey }, "[", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer -q sset Master 1-") end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "]", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer -q sset Master 1+") end),
    awful.key({ "Mod1", "Control" }, "l", function () awful.util.spawn("xscreensaver-command -lock") end),
    awful.key({ "Mod1", "Control" }, "Escape", function () awful.util.spawn("xkill") end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "F1", function () awful.util.spawn("firefox") end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "F2", function () awful.util.spawn("thunderbird") end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "F3", function () awful.util.spawn("pidgin") end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "F4", function () awful.util.spawn("liferea") end)

How do I fix this?
