Subject: [Evolution-hackers] Patch for serious bug in 1.0.3
Date: 03 May 2002 14:21:10 -0400
Hello,
as reported on the mailing list yesterday, Evolution 1.0.3 has a serious
bug that can make it eat all the memory on your system and then crash
when downloading certain messages with invalid headers.
The attached patch fixes the problem. It is strongly advised that users
and distributions apply this patch to their builds ASAP, until a new
tarball with the fix is released by the Evolution team. (For technical
reasons, this cannot happen until next week.)
Thanks,
--
Ettore
