unable to reproduce in karmic latest, audacity 1.3.9 - can you please tell me if you can still produce this bug?

Yes, still reproduces with 1.3.9-6 in Karmic with all the latest updates.

I even performed a complete removal of audacity and audacity-data in Synaptic,
then manually removed the .audacity* folders in my home directory and
re-installed both packages.

Still, when I go to Generate -> Click Track and leave all the default settings,
the first time there is no result (no track generated), and on the second
attempt, Audacity crashes. This is 100% reproducible on my system.

What additional materials I can attach to debug the problem?

When I open audacity, Generate -> Click Track..., I get an error dialog saying "Nyquist returned the value: 10". The output on the terminal is different:

I removed ~/.audacity-data, but the result was the same. It does not crash, but it does not work either.

As nobody seems to be affected: I'm adding my observation:

When creating clock track (Erzeugen -> Click track) console shows:

ERROR: Could not find sinewave.raw in rawwaves. Something is wrong with the installation or configuration.

SETDIR: No such file or directory

and popup confirm dialog shows Nyquist error 10. That happens only on first call after adaucity start, when repeating click track creation that works normal (audacity never crashed).

Happens since I upgraded from jaunty to karmic on all my machines (Intel Core 2 Quad, AMD Athlon 64).

tifff, the bug is already triaged. You reported the same as me (refer to comment #7). The bug is still in audacity 1.3.10-1 with an changed Nyquist error:

error: too few arguments

When running the click track command twice, audacity will segfault.
