Roland Mainz <[email protected]> has asked for approval_X11R6.8.x: Bug 2942: "xman" may crash when opening the print dialog https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2942 Attachment 2360: Patch for 2005-04-09-trunk which uses |XtCalloc()| instead of |XtMalloc()| to clear the |ManpageGlobals| structure correctly https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=2360&action=edit ------- Additional Comments from Roland Mainz <[email protected]> Requesting approval for X11R6.8.x stable branch. The patches cures a quite common crasher in "xman"'s print dialog which may occur on opening the dialog due an uninitalised structure. The fix is to clear the structure before using it (=allocating it using |XtCalloc()| instead of |XtMalloc()|).
