Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I am not sure if this list is the appropriate place to file a bug |
4 |
report, but the problem does need confirmation before I go through |
5 |
bugzilla. |

After building a working amd64 system using the latest portage tree, |
8 |
I emerged my favorite text editor, cooledit, version 3.17.17 To my |
9 |
surprise, any cut/copy/paste operation immediately caused a crash. |
10 |
Fortunately, the error messages were quite informative and allowed me |
11 |
to quickly find the cause. A call to "open" in the file widget/editcmd.c |
12 |
of the cooledit source does not include the mode parameter. Somehow, |
13 |
with the latest libraries, this missing parameter causes the crash. |
14 |
The attached patch file, missing_mode.patch, will fix the problem. |
15 |
|
16 |
Apply with: patch -p1 < missing_mode.patch. The gentoo sources |
17 |
include a few other patches as well that are also necessary, |
18 |
especially the gcc4 patch. |
19 |
|
20 |
But, as I mentioned, it would be beneficial if this problem could |
21 |
be confirmed. Cooledit is not the most popular text editor but |
22 |
maybe someone also uses it or is willing to test it. |
23 |
|
24 |
If someone can confirmn this, then I can file a bugreport with |
25 |
gentoo bugzilla. |
