• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Justin Keogh 2005-10-17 10:58:47 UTC]

This malformed text file will crash nano on any computer I try it on. 
Systems tested:
Linux defgw 2.6.13-gentoo #1 SMP Fri Sep 2 02:41:46 MST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm)
MP 2400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Linux super2 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 #8 SMP Fri Sep 23 18:57:16 EDT 2005 i686 Intel(R)
Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Linux super0 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 #2 SMP Sat Sep 10 20:32:52 EDT 2005 i686 Intel(R)
Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Here is the error: 
*** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0822cd00 ***
                                                                   Aborted


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. nano crash_nano.txt
2. nano crashes
3. *** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0822cd00 ***
                                                                   Aborted


Actual Results:  
Had to close the shell manually.

Expected Results:  
Edit the file crash_nano.txt

Tested with and without Xorg, xterm. Same results.
I will have to upload the attachment crash_nano.txt to bugzilla.
