Bug#123266: tetex-bin: endless loop in /usr/bin/xdvi.real when the first argument ends with a `.'
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20001218-7
Severity: important
When executing xdvi with the first argument ending with a dot (`.') it
seems to go into an endless loop (never exits; uses close to 100% CPU
time). No X11 window ever shows up. The given file does not even
have to exist.
For instance:
$ /usr/bin/xdvi abcdef.
Greetings, Heiko
