[Bug 318812] Re: *** buffer overflow detected ***: xfig terminated

[pemehe]

Tested on Ubuntu 9.04

Start an xterm (or other terminal)
In the Terminal:

Create a Folder for xfig
    mkdir xfig
change into that folder
    cd xfig
download the xfig source
    apt-get source xfig
download tools/libraries necessary for xfig
    apt-get build-dep xfig
change into the source folder
    cd xfig-*
change into the folder for the patches
    cd debian/patches
download the patch posted three posts up
    wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26764274/25_rulers_overflow_fix.dpatch
add patch to the list of patches to be applied
    echo 25_rulers_overflow_fix.dpatch >> 00list
change back to the main folder
    cd ../..
compile
    fakeroot debian/rules binary
the new packages are in the xfig folder
    cd ..
install the new packages
    sudo dpkg -i xfig*.deb

You now have a patched xfig that no longer crashes at that point
