[Gmsh] the following geo file produces a segmentation fault

[David Bernstein]

Hi Moritz, I ran this using 2.9.1 on OS X (yosemite) and it worked fine.  Maybe try updating your gmsh version?

Regards,
Dave

The following file

  // number is chosen as the highest current point number, plus
  // one. (Note that, analogously to `newp', the variables `newc',
  // `news', `newv' and `newreg' select the highest number amongst
  // currently defined curves, surfaces, volumes and `any entities
  // other than points', respectively.)

  p1 = newp; Point(p1) = {x,  y,  z} ;
  p2 = newp; Point(p2) = {x+r,y,  z} ;

  p7 = newp; Point(p7) = {x,  y,  z-r} ;

  c1 = newreg; Circle(c1) = {p2,p1,p7};
  c2 = newreg; Circle(c2) = {p7,p1,p5};
  c3 = newreg; Circle(c3) = {p5,p1,p4};
  c4 = newreg; Circle(c4) = {p4,p1,p2};
  c5 = newreg; Circle(c5) = {p2,p1,p3};
  c6 = newreg; Circle(c6) = {p3,p1,p5};

  c11 = newreg; Circle(c11) = {p4,p1,p6};
  c12 = newreg; Circle(c12) = {p6,p1,p7};

  // We need non-plane surfaces to define the spherical holes. Here we
  // use ruled surfaces, which can have 3 or 4 sides:

  l1 = newreg; Line Loop(l1) = {c5,c10,c4};   Ruled Surface(newreg) = {l1};
  l2 = newreg; Line Loop(l2) = {c9,-c5,c1};   Ruled Surface(newreg) = {l2};
  l3 = newreg; Line Loop(l3) = {c12,-c8,-c1}; Ruled Surface(newreg) = {l3};
  l4 = newreg; Line Loop(l4) = {c8,-c4,c11};  Ruled Surface(newreg) = {l4};
  l5 = newreg; Line Loop(l5) = {-c10,c6,c3};  Ruled Surface(newreg) = {l5};
  l6 = newreg; Line Loop(l6) = {-c11,-c3,c7}; Ruled Surface(newreg) = {l6};
  l7 = newreg; Line Loop(l7) = {-c2,-c7,-c12};Ruled Surface(newreg) = {l7};
  l8 = newreg; Line Loop(l8) = {-c6,-c9,c2};  Ruled Surface(newreg) = {l8};
  theloops[t] = newreg;
  Surface Loop(theloops[t]) = {l8+1,l5+1,l1+1,l2+1,l3+1,l7+1,l6+1,l4+1};

Return

Field[1]=MathEval;

loads successfully into gmsh
but trying to mesh produces a
seg. fault
the version is 2.8.3


any help will be appreciated
