Package: libshadow-ruby1.8
Severity: important
Version: 1.4.1-7
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unuseable on AMD64
Very simple to reproduce:
# irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'shadow'
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/shadow.so: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux]
This *only* occurs on AMD64 systems; my i386 works fine.
Patch attached to fix. When will people learn that 0 is not NULL?
