New submission from Justin Ferguson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I don't think any of these SGI modules even get used, but they're really
buggy-- you guys might want to consider just dropping them all together.
When printing errors larger than 128 bytes a stack based overflow occurs.
44 static void
45 ErrorHandler(long code, const char *fmt, ...)
46 {
47 va_list args;
48 char buf[128];
49
50 va_start(args, fmt);
51 vsprintf(buf, fmt, args);
52 va_end(args);
53 PyErr_SetString(ErrorObject, buf);
54 }
