Package: libevent-dev
Version: 1.3d-1
Severity: normal
evdns_resolve_reverse_ipv6 always fails with the assertion:
evdns.c:2282: evdns_resolve_reverse_ipv6: Assertion `cp +
strlen(".ip6.arpa") < buf+sizeof(buf)' failed.
the reason is that the function uses a 64 byte buffer for i.p.v.6.ip6.arpa, but
the ipv6
address alone takes 64 bytes so there is never room for the .ip6.arpa suffix.
so the function will never work.

Version: 1.4.8~stable-1
Seems to be fixed in 1.4.1-beta. Quoting the changelog:
| o Fix buffer size and string generation in evdns_resolve_reverse_ipv6().
First Debian upload including the fix should be 1.4.8~stable-1, closing
accordingly. If there's still an issue with that specific assertion,
please reopen and Cc me.
Cheers,
