   Bug in v3.2.9a (was: idle)

   Hi Benny,

    BP> no news ?   
      
   this reminds me, to post a bug that I've found with rev 3.2.9a   
   and previous revisions   
      
   don't know exactly since when the loglevel has been introduced.   
   I've added debug logging (full logging with level 4), I've noticed   
   that the message writings results in a file with length 0   
      
   Several hours and days later after analysing with assistance from other   
   C-programmers, I've stumbled over a failure in stack handling, where the   
   filepointer gets overwritten :-P   
      
   The bug I've reported on the tracker under sourceforge id#3531669   
   http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3531669&group_id   
   191700&atid=93 8433   
   with a fix attached:   
      
   ....mklog.c.diff.....................................................   
   71c71   
   <     outstr = calloc(4096, sizeof(char));   
   -$-   
      
   >     outstr = malloc(4096);   
      
   74c74   
   <     vsprintf(outstr, format, va_ptr);   
   -$-   
      
   >     vsnprintf(outstr, 4096, format, va_ptr);   
      
   ....snip_off.....................................................   
      
      
   ....msgtool.c.diff..................................................   
   39a40   
      
   > int *FixStack;   
      
   154a156,157   
      
   >   
   >     FixStack = NULL;    /* BUGFIXED 2012-06-28 us filepointer/stack fix   
   > */   
      
   ....snip_off.....................................................   
      
      
      
   ....version.h.diff..................................................   
   4c4   
   < #define MAKENL_VERSION     "3.2.9a"   
   -$-   
      
   > #define MAKENL_VERSION     "3.2.9b"   
      
   ....snip_off.....................................................   
      
   With the fix, the filepointer on the stack gets fixed and the filepointer   
   used for open the message file keeps intact.
