The problem seems to be tricky to hit, I was going to say I didn't think we should carry it. But fedora are using it: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/glibc.git/plain/glibc-rh730856.patch?h=f18 (dates in the patch are from earlier this year) And at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730856 it looks like _some_ people have been seeing it. Comment 17 is informative, and comment 19 points to a URI which does crash firefox-14.0.1 : it works in lynx, I don't read Spanish but I think the page tells people to use a different directory at the site. The URI in comment 5 doesn't crash firefox on a single test. If anyone else using firefox or seamonkey can confirm that either of these URIs crash their browser: http://bikemap.net (works for me) or http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual?LEMA=XYZ then I suppose we ought to add it. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
