Package: libc6.1 Version: 2.7-10 Severity: normal Affects IA64 only
Code like... static char buf[20]; strcpy(buf, "/tmp/some_XXXXXX"); char * tmpname=mkdtemp(buf); can return tmpname which is non null and for which *tmpname seg faults because it is not a valid address i.e. it does not point at the buf. The template will have been modified correctly to point at a unique name. So a workaround is to add if (!tmpname) tmpname=buf; Bug affects latest version of f2c-20061008-1 on IA64 (to reproduce run with no arguments, call is in the set_temp_names function) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: ia64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-dsa-mckinley (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6.1 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:4.3.0-4 GCC support library libc6.1 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: glibc/upgrade: true glibc/restart-services: glibc/restart-failed: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
