Bug#458579: Some ISO-2022-JP conversions cause iconv to enter an endless loop
Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Some conversions to ISO-2022-JP can hang iconv; a test case is in
upstream's bugtracker at
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5277 , and this has been
fixed in CVS. Please backport the fix into debian. I will attach a
proposed patch once this bug is assigned a number.
