Package: muddleftpd
Version: 1.3.13.1-4
Hi all,
When I compile and run muddleftpd on Suse Linux/IA64, muddleftpd
experiences a segfault in logger.c (when reaching the
"timestr[strlen(timestr) - 1] = '\0';" statement in the patch below).
I know, the debian bugtracker isn't normally the right place to address
bugs which should be addressed upstream, but the muddleftpd project on
www.nongnu.org/muddleftpd/ seems dead.
Cheers,
Johannes

The following patch is a working solution for me:
