Package: jade Version: 1.2.1-47.1 Severity: important Tags: patch Hello,
On hurd-i386, jade automatically enables the use of libthreads. This is however not a good idea for at least two reasons: - threads are not used on Linux, so the threaded code is not actually tested. - libthreads is a lightweight threading library meant to be able to start thousands of threads, and thus the default stack size is tiny (64KiB), while jade apparently uses recursion quite a bit, leading to stack overflows, e.g. when building the libusb package. The attached patch disables it. Of course re-autoconf will be needed.
