Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug
I was processing an image with very high dynamic range and tried applying 2 masked instances as a weird experiment (the 1st parametric on the g channel, the 2nd using an inverted raster mask from the 1st). After a while, while adjusting parameters, darktable crashed.
pixelpipe_hb.c -> opencl.c -> libnvidia-opencl.so.1 -> <signal handler called> () at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
Steps to reproduce
Not clear. Crash only happened after a while.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached darktable_bt_BU52G3.txt, last-few-seconds-of-console-output.txt, and DSC_0856-with-2-agx-instances.NEF.xmp.txt, then trace the reported pixelpipe_hb.c and opencl.c paths. Try to narrow the crash using the two masked instances and the listed NVIDIA driver environment. Done means establishing a reproducible failure or a supported diagnosis from the supplied evidence.
