[SOLVED] “floating point exception” error in tesseract-5.4.0-1

My system is fully upgraded, and the wonderful OCR application tesseract-5.4.0-1, in the repositories since last 6 jun, does not work. It generates a “floating point exception” error, even on a simple image containing only a few lines of text. I had to downgrade to the previous version 5.3.4-2, which works correctly. I don't know if anyone else has detected the issue. Thanks in advance for your support.

Could you share some reproduction instructions and logs? I think this could be a problem that needs reporting upstream

OK. This is the image of the process that has failed: https://i.imghippo.com/files/LhI5s1718147369.png

And this is the core dump back trace file: backtraceInGdb.txt

There's been an update to tesseract, can you reproduce with the new version? The trace matches: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/issues/4257 which should be fixed in 5.4.1.

Also please don't embed huge images and less so if the only information they contain is text, just post it as text.
