I vaguely recall that some people were having unreproducible crashes when using input() or inputlist(). This patch should solve that. What happened was that the garbage collector didn't see the arguments to internal functions, thus would free List and Dict arguments that are still in use. That leads to a double free later. The garbage collector only does it's work when the user doesn't type for a little while, that made it unpredictable when it would happen. -- Even got a Datapoint 3600(?) with a DD50 connector instead of the usual DB25... what a nightmare trying to figure out the pinout for *that* with no spex... /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org ///
