Mike,

Why is this a security problem?
Comment 2 Mike Fulk 2003-12-10 21:21:05 UTC
I put it in GLSA as it stands for: user contribution and security advisory.. 

and there is no place to post hppa specfic..  tell me where to reassign the bug/feature and I will.
Comment 3 Alexander Gabert (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-12 09:40:07 UTC
talk to #gentoo-hppa or pappy@gentoo.org or gmsoft@gentoo.org

GLSA is for security advisories only

you want to submit a patch for a program failing to compile

thanks,

Alex

Fixed in cvs. Thanks for the report.

Can you give me some feedback about GNUstep via mail or irc. Thanks in advance.
