Valgrind error...

As no-one replied to my previous post about this, I'm raising it again.

I get this error when running Aspell under valgrind:

==14447== Source and destination overlap in strcpy(0x3CDE0B61, 0x3CDE0B62)

It appears to be doing something untoward with strcpy.

I'm seeing random corruption of the block of text I'm spell checking and I was wondering where this error has anything to do with it.

Can someone comment on the validity of this error?


BTW I tried to build aspell from CVS on redhat 9 and got stuck here:

Any ideas whats going on here?
