Package: zile Version: 2.3.4-1 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
This bug has been in zile a *long* time, but I have never managed to either write a detailed enough bug report or get anyone to care. Previously this crash was a segfault... I guess we're making progress now that it's an assert() failure... =P Anyway, sometimes when zile is wrapping a line for me in auto-fill-mode it crashes. The assertion failure in the current version is: zile: astr.c:101: astr_nreplace_cstr: Assertion `pos <= as->len' failed. Aborted This typically occurs when I'm wrapping a long line where I have to hit the space bar several times in order to get it all wrapped, leaving a long tail of spaces on the line. (It would be nice if auto-fill-mode behaved more like emacs' where it wraps the entire line in one go.) In order to reproduce, see the test.txt and .zile files which I will attach shortly. Once you have the .zile in place, run `zile test.txt' and then switch into auto-fill-mode by typing: M-x auto-fill-mode Next, go to the end of the long line (C-e) and start hitting space bar. The assertion fails for me after hitting space 3 times. I'm guessing this is some kind of integer overflow/underflow but I really have no idea. I haven't looked at the code. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages zile depends on: ii libc6 2.9-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090321-1 shared libraries for terminal hand zile recommends no packages. zile suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
