Description Guillaume Castagnino 2014-12-03 20:11:41 UTC

Hi,

unbound-1.5.0 is nearly unusable. After some (random) time, it segfaults.
After some digging, I found this: http://unbound.nlnetlabs.nl/pipermail/unbound-users/2014-November/003636.html

After manually applying this patch, there is no more segfault. I think that it could be nice to apply on 1.5.0 without waiting for an hypothetical 1.5.1 release.

Thanks !!

Fixed in 1.5.1_rc2 in the tree.
