Created attachment 2863 [details] Test case for XSelectInput problem 2005-05-28 Federico Mena Quintero <federico@ximian.com> * xdgmime.c (xdg_mime_init_from_directory): Pass the correct size to realloc(). Fixed, thanks Out of curiosity, how did you catch it? Were you fixing a specific bug? Uh, I was having spurious crashes in the file chooser within my jhbuild checkout. First I thought something else may be broken in my jhbuild tree, but then I decided to look, as some operations on folders looked reproducible. I *think* I found it with MALLOC_CHECK_=2 under gdb, but I don't remember --- I found the bug while half coding, half listening to a Guadec talk :) ok, I was asking because there are a bunch of bug reports like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306143 being reported, and I was wondering if your patch could fix those. Guess I'll have to find someone getting crashes and willing to test the patch ;) Let me check if the copy of xdgmime within gnome-vfs is okay... Blah, the copy within gnome-vfs-2.10 is not even the one with the MIME cache. Or at least, it's different from the copy that is inside GTK+. Just applied the patch to gnome-vfs HEAD. That one does use the caches. |
