Subject: joe: segfaults on large files

Package: joe
Version: 2.8-7

If you edit a large (5 mb or so) file in joe, when you exit the program
(saving the file or abandoing your changes, it doesn't matter), joe will die
with a segmentation fault. It does save the file first, though.

I have 80 mb ram, with 35 mb currently free or cached, so I don't think 
this has to do with running out of memory.

-- System Information
Debian Release: 1.2
Kernel Version: Linux kite 2.0.27 #2 Sun Dec 1 17:33:35 EST 1996 i586 unknown

Versions of the packages joe depends on:
libc5	Version: 5.4.17-1

That is a large file! I suspect this has something to do with the old
malloc and the new libc5. If you do a pre-load of the old malloc library,
does it still segfault?
If so, it should go away when I rebuild it with the new libc5.

You lucky dog you ;-) Nope, it certianly isn't because you don't have
enough memory!

Good call. Using the old malloc does fix the problem.

This bug seems to have been fixed; if you agree, please close it.

I tried to edit a 8 Mb file with joe, and it worked (didn't segfault).
