Bug#887667: socnetv - commas cause crashes
Package: socnetv
Version: 2.1-1.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I had written a perl application to produce a database table
of linked organisations by extracting details from a book.
My preferred way of producing the network graph id to produce
a pajek.net file from the postgresql table of linked names.
There are roughly 278 tuples in the table and slightly fewer
nodes.
I opened socnetv and selected pajek for import. When I clicked
on 'OK', socnetv segfaulted.
This is a consistent behaviour caued by one particular data field:
'Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms'
Altering the field to:
'Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco and Firearms'
allows the loading to proceed as it should.
Initially I thought it was the & (ampersand) but it still crashed.
The commas cause crashes.
