Could someone fix that?
First, thanks for the bug report. I can't see any immediately obvious sign of a buffer overflow in copy_internal(). Could you perhaps expand your bug report to include more details of the bug you are reporting? > I run Linux on PPC with 64MB memory and this bug shows up when there is > not enough memory, I believe. The only memory allocation in that function that I can see is ASSIGN_STRDUPA(), which will always allocate the correct size of buffer or call abort(), I believe.
