The bug buffer overflow of xfig is worse than ever in Ubuntu-9.10 (Karmic
Koala)
whenever I push the done button (for example after editing) or the set
button (after zooming)
xfig crashes!
My linux kernel is Linux lancelot 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri
Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64
I can't reproduce this bug anymore in Ubuntu-9.10 (Karmic Koala) so it
appears to have been fixed.
$ xfig -v
Xfig 3.2 patchlevel 5a (Protocol 3.2)

pemehe (or whoever else) : is it possible to include the patched package
on ubuntu mirrors ? so that one can simply install the binary, and not
recompile from the source (since it's annoying to find and install all

Inkscape fell short for my needs - and the size of my physical plan
layout was too large for it to handle - I would also love to see the
patched version of Xfig added to the repositories, but I still have
not seen anything that compares to it - maybe QCad - but really XFig
is better IMHO.

Just for the records: This bug should be fixed since 1:3.2.5.a-1, while
Debian sid and squeeze already ship 1:3.2.5.a-2. So Ubuntu should think
about upgrading the package.

This was still happening in Ubuntu 9.10 when I did an upgrade. I
originally experienced it in 8.XX and got with the author who provided
me with a fix/patch that can be recompiled into Xfig and gets it
working. Is there any way to go about getting this patch into the deb

The bug is with the size of the 'number' strings defined at w_rulers.c:1169 and
w_rulers.c:1428.
These strings store the numbers and units that appear on the rulers. If you
zoom out enough you will get something like '-1000cm' which is 7 characters
long. The strings only store 6. Therefore the

I also observe this bug with Ubuntu-8.10. It's very easy to reproduce.
1/ start xfig without argument:
$ xfig
2/ Click in the canvas to give it focus then press z (lower case) several times
until xfig crashes.
On my machine it always crashes after pressing z 9 times.
Observe the
This Bug does not need the line. Xfig crahes whenever you zoom out enough.
Seems to be caused by gcc's optimization. After compiling it with -O0 it works.
At least for me.
