[Bug 423495] Re: psppire assert failure: *** glibc detected *** psppire: realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x004dcf5e ***

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

** Description changed:

+ SRU justification:
+ 
+ GUI to pspp (/usr/bin/psppire) is essentially un-usable in Karmic.
+ Attempting to add any input into a cell results in this crash.
+ 
+ Status in Lucid:
+ 
+ This bug has been fixed in Lucid by uploading the new upstream release
+ (0.6.2-0ubuntu1) resolving this issue.
+ 
+ Proposed SRU to Karmic:
+ 
+ A minimal patch resolving this issue only can be found in this upstream
+ git commit:
+ 
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/commit/?h=stable&id=f5d9f9911bd04682a7edfb48521a12202e561e0a
+ 
+ A debdiff is attached to this bug.
+ 
+ Regression potential:
+ 
+ As the program is essentially un-usable in its current state, there is
+ no real regression potential for this SRU.
+ 
+ ----------------------------
+ Original report:
+ 
  Binary package hint: pspp
  
  PSPP will not allow and input...crashes immediately.
