Research direction

The report is a crash when a pass starts at 00:00 with elevation -0.00 while rotctld is running, on Windows 7 with win32-2.3.37, and the screenshots show the failing cases for UVSQ-Sat and INSPIRE-Sat7. No file or function is named, so the first step is to reproduce it with a pass whose AOS is at that time and elevation. Done means that case no longer crashes. The issue is over 1000 days without a reply and has no assignee, so check with maintainers before starting.

Description

Dear Gpredict Team,

I would like to submit several crash of Gpredict when AOS is 00:00 and satellite EL is -0,00°.
Gpredict run with rotctld.
Gpredict version is win32-2.3.37 (on Windows7).

In attached pictures, two crash examples when AOS on UVSQ-Sat and INSPIRE-Sat7.
Could it be fixed with parameters adjustment ?

Best regards.
