Description ta2002 2005-08-29 07:38:39 UTC

All of a sudden, sites that have worked fine for
years cause links to crash. This happens on MANY
sites, and the debug log (which I will attach)
seems to indicate Google code as a problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start links
2. Go to any of a number of sites that have this problem
3.
Actual Results:  
Links crashes with the following messages:

INTERNAL ERROR at ipret.c:628: Aiee! Unknown variable type!

Forcing core dump
Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  
Displayed the page normally.

You neglected to post links version and the link in URL is totally irrelevant.

This driver file does not exist or has been recently remove from our database.
Please try another driver file, or Search DriverGuide.

Put links version into summary and post some URL where links segfaults.

I realise this is a dupe, and I'm not the reporter, but I wanted to add one
thing. The link in the URL wasn't totally irrelevant - the bug report form asks
for an " URL that demonstrates the problem you are seeing". This is what he gave
- an URL that segfaulted links as the problem stated.

It's true that he didn't give the version, which is important, but I just wanted
to say that it wasn't totally irrelevant, as you said.

Closing.

Comment 7 ta2002 2005-08-30 10:29:43 UTC

In my defense, I will say that I did a search on links
before filing this bug, but the original submitter used
"www-client/links-2.1pre17-r1" (with no spaces anywhere)
so the search didn't find it. :)
