Bug 475410 – net-news/newsbeuter-3.6: SEGFAULT when running command "reload" (e.g., newsbeuter -x reload)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Marc Joliet 2013-07-01 12:26:20 UTC]

net-news/newsbeuter-3.6 crashes with a SEGFAULT when running the command "reload", e.g., when reloading all feeds via "newsbeuter -x reload".  For a more detailed summary see $URL.

The patch linked in comment #3 at $URL fixed the issue for me (a trivial NULL pointer check), so maybe a revbump containing the patch is in order.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "newsbeuter -x reload"
Actual Results:  
newsbeuter crashes after a while with a SEGFAULT.

Expected Results:  
newsbeuter should reload all feeds and exit with 0 status.
