Call for help: Please test patch to 3449

[Egmont Koblinger]

Hi,

The latest stable release (4.8.14) has an infamous segfault bug that's
been unresolved for half a year now.

I created a patch, it's attached to
https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3449

Could you guys please test this patch thoroughly?

It seems to work for me, but I haven't had the change to stress-test
it. It would be nice to test the trickier cases as well, e.g. when the
system locale vs. the file's charset don't match (you alter the
charset in mcview with Alt+E), etc., whatever you can think of.

It would be great to have a 4.8.15 release in the near future (let's
say within a month) if everything's fine.

Thanks,
egmont

Nevermind, I ended up filing 3524 and 3525.

Everything correlates with everything in weird ways...

The segfault only. The other one (comment 16) totally fell through the cracks.

Could you please open a separate bugreport for that, so that it's
easier to keep track of that?

In the mean time I've also found another bug...

Hi Egmont,

Thanks a lot for looking into this!

I'll try to give it a try when I'm back; I've noticed your update to the
trac ticket, but didn't have time to react yet.

Does it only fix the segfault (which would be already awesome), or it
also fixes the side problem of the "whole words" thing that I have
discovered while investigating the segfault?

Sincerely yours,
