Package: xwpe
Version: 1.5.22a-1
Severity: normal
When I run xwpe like this and select the option to display a man page from the
help menu.
$ MANPATH=`perl -e 'print "a" x 4000'` xwpe
Xwpe: unexpected signal 11, exiting ...
Error-Exit! Code: 1!
$
The bug is in we_fl_unix.c:
3539: char sustr[250], subpath[250], manpath[250];
3545: manpath[0] = '\0';
3546: if(getenv("MANPATH"))
3547: strcpy(manpath, getenv("MANPATH"));
3548: if(manpath[0] == '\0')
3549: strcpy(manpath, "/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man");
