Dear Maintainer,
A file containing the following 6 ascii characters triggers a NULL pointer
dereference in make(1):
% hexdump -C Makefile
00000000 61 3a 3a 3a 3a 3d |a::::=|
00000006
% make -f Makefile
Makefile:1: Malformed target-specific variable definition
zsh: segmentation fault make -f Makefile
Here is a gdb session showing the invalid memory access (performed on a
equivalent non-Debian system).
% gdb -q make
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/make...done.
