Package: libmdbtools
Version: 0.5.99.0.6pre1.0.20051109-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hello !
The function floor_log10 fails to check if the argument is infinite or not,
which causes
infinite recursion in case the database contains some infinite floats. I joined
a simple fix
that does the job.
I set the severity to important since it completely renders the package
unusable for me
(nearly all my databases contain infinite floats).
Thanks for considering this report !
