Bug#411069: Not so random endless loop/crash



Package: puf
Version: 1.0.0-3
Severity: important

I've found that puf crashes almost all the time when attempts to do a
recursive fetch like

puf -r http://www.htdig.org/files

This ends in an endless loop after some file downloaded (n < 10) on
all my machine (all i386).

I've tried to find the problem and i've found that the url.c source
causes the error if is compiled with -ON for N >= 1 with gcc-4.1. If
compiled with -O0 all works ok wathever is the optimization settings
for other source objects.

The error (a s = s->next disappaired) is on the line containing h_find
(a macro defined in puf.h) in the first function of file (find_url).

I've investigated a lot on this problem, but i've not found a solution
other then disabling the optimization at all.

My gcc knowledge is not so big, so i'm asking for help.

Any help will be apreciated.
