21 As the reporter of the problem with nano, I'd like to make 1 correction to
22 this report: Recompiling nano and its depencies did not fix the crashes. It
23 just fixed the eating of the file.
24 I did not recompile my entire system, but a crash of such a small and basic
25 app as nano made me not want to do this outside of a chroot, which I
26 currently do not have the means for.
27 I reread my report, and I saw it was not clear that recompiling nano and its
28 dependencies did not fix the crashes. Sorry for the confusion.
