Description Nir Soffer 2006-01-21 09:15:21 UTC 
fribidi_log2vis crash when memory is low, instead of returning 0.

Attached a fix against fribidi-0.10.7:
 * change fribidi_analyse_string to return boolean instead of void
 * check the result in fribidi_log2vis

I noticed another ignored malloc call in that file, this patch fix only the one in fribidi_analyse_string.

Nir Soffer,
Do you still experience this issue with newer soft?
Please check the status of your issue.

This is not about user experience - why don't you check the code to see if malloc return value is handled correctly?
