Package: libevent1
Version: 1.1a-2
Severity: important
Please pack the latest 1.3b libevent version, is the only version that
fixes a memory leak. In current Debian version (1.1a) there was no way to
free the memory alocated event_init(). In 1.2 event_base_free() was
introduced, but broken. Any program that used this function abort()ed
because a failed assertion like this:
event.c:220: event_base_free: Assertion `(((&base->eventqueue)->tqh_first) ==
((void *)0))' failed.
In 1.3b this bug is finally fixed, being the only version in which you can
free the memory allocated by libevent (crucial for multithreading programs
where you have multiple loops that can be created and destroyed
dinamically).
Please upgrade libevent package to 1.3b. Thanks!
