Package: motion
Version: 3.2.11-1.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi,
motion segfaults in motion_log() when it calls strerror_r(); apparently
nowadays the default strerror_r() is the POSIX version, so coding for the
GNU version fails.
The attached patch fixes this.
Regards,
Stephen

Hi Juan,
I just checked and the new version doesn't suffer from this bug. I'm closing
