After applying the patch it crashes in _mhash_gen_key_s2k_simple() when calling mutils_malloc(total). _mhash_gen_key_s2k_simple() has the following code
total = times * block_size; times = key_size / block_size; I suppose those two lines have to be swapped. The block_size has a very reasonable value of 20 on my system. Uwe -- MMK GmbH, Fleyer Str. 196, 58097 Hagen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +2331 840446 Fax: +2331 843920
