Description Tom Samstag 2006-10-28 21:23:28 UTC 
If unmasked, x11-misc/gtkdialog-0.59.8 will compile and install on amd64 but will crash with the following error:
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000000b4bf20 ***

Attached, find a patch to fix this issue (caused by the bad assumption that sizeof(int)==sizeof(GList*)). With this patch (which is safe to apply for all architectures), gtkdialog runs fine on amd64 and should receive ~amd64.

I've also sent the patch upstream to the author.
