[Bug 1805914] Re: git assert failure: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer

[Anders Kaseorg]

The crash occurs with glibc 2.28 and not with glibc 2.27.  Bisecting
glibc.git shows glibc-2.28~122 as the first bad commit:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=eb04c21373e2a2885f3d52ff192b0499afe3c672
“posix: Sync gnulib regex implementation”

I verified that it was fixed in glibc master (post-2.28) with:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=bc680b336971305cb39896b30d72dc7101b62242
“regex: fix uninitialized memory access”

which was backported to the 2.28 stable branch (two commits after the
snapshot in cosmic/disco!):

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=58559f14437d2aa71753a29fed435efa06aa4576

Please add this patch.
