#10 Dumps core on FreeBSD -CURRENT

[Anonymous]

Dumps core with a malloc message. This comment was
offered by another FreeBSD user:

Probably it incorrectly uses malloc/free and is being
caught by the
malloc debugging options enabled in -current. This is
something you
should bring up with the developers of the software.

And so I am ;-)

for only mallocing 40 bytes of chars for the return string from the DNS
resolver.

ther segfault in malloc is the result of a damn bloody buffer overflow, the
whole method of transfering a unknown length string to a fixed malloced
adress is LAME!!!!

bug is to wipe fast and dirty with changing line
name = malloc (40);
at callbacks.c, line 229 to for example
name = malloc(400); and wow!!! the bug seems to be gone, but better would
be to do it dynamically.
...
other such like bugs likely to be in there, watch out.

SHAME ON YOU, I FLAME YOUR EMAIL NOW FOR THIS!!!
