Hi,
when libtool .la files contain NUL bytes due to a corruption, there is a very
ugly memory eating loop triggered in libltdl. the problem is that it believes
the buffer was too small, and keeps resizing it until the machine dies (or
ulimits kill the process).
the patch below should avoid this issue:
--- a/libtool-1.5.24/libltdl/ltdl.c
+++ b/libtool-1.5.24/libltdl/ltdl.c

Thanks,
