Package: typespeed Version: 0.6.4-2 Severity: wishlist I wanted to seed "unix words" and "English words" from the commands in my $PATH and my /usr/share/dict/words (respectively), but this causes typespeed to segfault when selecting the word list.
Experiments and RTFS suggest this is because typespeed is full of arbitrary buffer limits -- it allocates large arrays of strings instead of incrementally mallocing only what is needed. If the statically allocated array proves too small, typespeed simply segfaults. I wish these arbitrary limits were removed from typespeed. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages typespeed depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080203-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand typespeed recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
