Hi,
The GNU locate (version 4.1) crashes with Segmentation fault (Program
received signal SIGSEGV). reproduced on 3 different machines. the chrash appears after i run updatedb
and mountet windows-shares via samba.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x8049588 in getstr (lineptr=0xbffffb30, n=0xbffffb34, stream=0x804a970,
terminator=0 '\000', offset=65584)
at getline.c:104
104 in getline.c
I'm not a programmer but i think it's possible to manipulate the stack but
not serious dangerous i think.
regards,
Tom Fischer
