Package: gnubiff
Version: 2.2.15-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
With 2.2.16-1, gnubiff fails to load the config at startup, with the error:
** (gnubiff:5100): WARNING **: Configuration file () not found!
Settings are then all default.
With 2.2.15-4, all is fine.
Giving the path to the file "gnubiff -c /home/user1/.gnubiffrc" does not help.
With strace, I see (no option given):
- 1st try: open("\270\10[\te/user1/.gnubiffrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
- 2nd try: open("\20\210\301\te/user1/.gnubiffrc",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
- 3rd try: open("08h\te/user1/.gnubiffrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
which looks like a string buffer being overwritten.
Looking at the code, I followed to Options::value_string in
options.cc, but the code hasn't changed between 2.2.15-4 and 2.2.16-1
(no code has changed, actually)
I couldn't locate the dbg package to dig deeper with gdb.
Thanks!
Omen
