Public bug reported:

unace crashes when trying to list contents of an ace archive:

I have only one .ace archive to test on, so I have not been able to test
with other files than this one.

Steps to reproduce:
1: open zsh
2: type: unace l archive.ace
3: Watch as unace begins to print file names.
4: After some time, unace crashes and prints:
*** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/unace terminated
zsh: abort (core dumped)  unace l

I have ticked the button to notify Ubuntu Security Team since I suspect
stack smashing might be related to a buffer overflow.

Any suggestions on how to debug this further?
I have just installed the unace-dbgsym and will try tracing it with gdb.
