wtf 0.0.4-2 - Segmentation fault (core dumped)

wtf 0.0.4-2 - Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Hughes, Bill]

Running wtf 0.0.4-2 on cygwin 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) under Windows 2000,looking
for an acronym which is not in a database gives me an error of "Segmentation
fault (core dumped)" if the unrecognised acronym is 'susea' or later.
I.E. a search for 'a' to 'susdzzzz' returns nothing (blank) while a search
for 'susea' to 'zzzzzzzz' errors as above.
Recognised acronyms e.g. 'wtf' and 'suse' are returned properly.
NB I do not have a .wtf in HOME, wtf is 'as installed'.

I am new to this list, please accept my apologies if this behaviour is
known. I have searched the list archive and not found any matches. Actually
there were a few unrelated messages with 'wtf' in them...

<offtopic>
I found this idly checking a few things, I tried 'emacs' and got no output
and then tried 'vi' - where the error first appeared. Naturally I wondered
if this might indicate the preferred editor of Igor Pechtchanski? :-) Then I
checked further.

Bill Hughes

Thanks for the bug report.  Turns out there was a bug when searching past
the last entry in a file, that manifested upon moving a structure from the
heap to the stack.  I've submitted a fix for this to the upstream
maintainer and will release 0.0.4-3 shortly.

No, this was not a known issue.  Thanks for reporting it.

Pure coincidence!  Drat, am I the only one who now regrets the fact that
"vi"  comes alphabetically after "emacs"? ;-)

P.S. I'm actually a vi guy myself.

That's a variant.  Like "vim".  Nobody searches for that. :-p
