Hi!
I got some *SERIOUS* crashes as I used sman. Therefore I started some
debugging tools on my A3000 and found a mungwall hit in the function
freesregexp() of the library. This is caused by a bug in the function
parseone(), which terminates a string with TWO null bytes instead of one. The
following is the diff file which contains the bug fix:
---------------------- cut here --------------------------------------------

return NULL;
}
while (*q++ = onechar(p,FALSE)) ;
! *q = 0;
}
}
}
--- 364,370 ----
return NULL;
}
while (*q++ = onechar(p,FALSE)) ;
! /* 26-May-91/SB *q = 0; BUG! BUG! BUG! String already null terminated! */
}
}
}
---------------------- cut here --------------------------------------------
I didn't had the time to recompile the library, so here is a patch for the binary
(as posted on comp.sources.amiga) itself:
File: sregexp.library
Length: 8732
Position: 2206 Old Contents: 0x1CBC 0x0000
New Contents: 0x4E71 0x4E71
