[Bug 451554] Re: transmission crashed with SIGSEGV in tr_torrentNext()

[charles]

This was fixed about a month ago upstream and is slated for 1.80.  It
hadn't been reported in Ubuntu yet.  Thank you for taking the time to
report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better!  Feel free to
continue to report any other bugs you may find.

Question for the Ubuntu p2p packagers:

I'm a little confused about how best to submit bugfixes like this one
for use in post-release 9.10.  I understand there are many bigger fish
to fry at this point and I'm happy to wait, but if possible I'd like to
get some general advice on how the Transmission team should make these
fixes available -- that is, which way is easiest for you to use.

One proposal has been a focused bugfix-only 1.76 addressing the tickets
listed at http://transmission.pastebay.com/61186.  The diff for this
proposal is only about 300 lines long,
http://transmission.pastebay.com/61200.  Rolling a 1.76 release would be
my preferred method, since it's easy to understand and easy for other
distros and end users to grab.

If you'd prefer to do fixes a la carte, that's fine too.  This ticket's
fix is a very simple null pointer test before dereferencing the pointer,
and the changeset can be found at
<http://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset/9143>
