Commit 1303a4a fixes a use-after-free in the daemon that manifested when compiling it with GCC 5.1 (string destructors were called before ‘execve’ calls that used the underlying ‘char *’ pointers.)
The fix is a backport of an upstream commit. I plan to update our copy of the Nix daemon code eventually, but it seemed wiser to do that after the release, hence this backport. Please report any issues. Thanks, Ludo’.
