Douglas Creager commented on AVRO-741:
--------------------------------------
This happens on 64-bit Ubuntu, too.
I've tracked down the "why", but haven't had a chance to put together a patch
yet. The problem is that before, the binary encoding class ensured that it
allocated an extra byte for bytes values, and made sure they were NUL
terminated. It doesn't do that anymore. Inside of file_read_header, the JSON
schema for the file is stored in a bytes value, which we pass right in to
avro_schema_from_json — which expects the JSON string to be NUL-terminated. So
if the byte right after the schema string isn't a \x00, then we get a segfault.
