Bug#700354: info: segfault on tab completion on large terminals
Package: info
Version: 4.13.95.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal
This version of info sometimes crashes when using tab completion. It only
happens with some info files, and seemingly only on large terminals. This
doesn't occur with the version from unstable (4.13a.dfsg.1-10).
To reproduce, take large terminal, for example:
$ echo $LINES $COLUMNS
64 208
Start info with the make info file from make-doc 3.81-5.1:
$ info make
Enter these keystrokes:
i p TAB TAB
Result: segfault.
