The buffer in editline.c STATIC char* read_redirected() is 64 characters long, when it get to the end of 64 characters it does:
if (p == end) { size += MEM_INC; p = line = realloc(line, size); end = p + size; } So 'p' which is where it is writing the next character is set back to the start of the line, not left at the end. The attached patch, bumps p to next write position correctly. if (p == end) { int lengthSoFar = p - line; size += MEM_INC; line = realloc(line, size); p = line + lengthSoFar; end = line + size; } Cheers - Mark ** Attachment added: "fix for bug, based on debian editline 1.12 base" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20399291/editline-fix.patch -- editline truncates at 64 characters in batch mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
