Description Dizzy 2005-03-27 05:21:29 UTC

Hi

Background: SQLite 3.2.0 has added support for ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN.

Problem: Unfortunetly there is a memory allocation bug that is triggered rather easy, I have reported the problem and SQLite team has very promptly commited a fix for this; it will probably be in SQLite 3.2.1. 

Please update Portage with an ebuild that patches this fix thanks!


Reproducible: Always
