Package: libevent1 Version: 1.1a-2 Severity: important
Please pack the latest 1.3b libevent version, is the only version that fixes a memory leak. In current Debian version (1.1a) there was no way to free the memory alocated event_init(). In 1.2 event_base_free() was introduced, but broken. Any program that used this function abort()ed because a failed assertion like this: event.c:220: event_base_free: Assertion `(((&base->eventqueue)->tqh_first) == ((void *)0))' failed. In 1.3b this bug is finally fixed, being the only version in which you can free the memory allocated by libevent (crucial for multithreading programs where you have multiple loops that can be created and destroyed dinamically). Please upgrade libevent package to 1.3b.
