Hi Jason,

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.7-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Aptitude crashes when I press L (lowercase), then type certain
strings into the "Enter the new package tree limit:" prompt.
Below is a table of strings I've tried, followed by whether it
crashed aptitude ("crash") or not ("happy"). Below that I have
pasted a full backtrace of the crash from the string "wine-dev".
wine-dev crash
wine-development crash
wine-foo happy (no packages match, but it doesn't crash)
wine happy
wine- crash
win- happy
wine-development-foo happy (no matches, no crash)
wine-devfoo happy (no matches, no crash)
map happy
moop crash
moo happy
bar happy
baz crash
I can't figure out the pattern of why it crashes for some input and
not others. But I do consistently get crashes on the input labeled
"crash" above, and consistently _don't_ get crashes on those
labeled "happy" above.
Thanks for the detailed report.
It was a problem due to divide by zero, presumably when the number of
packages matching is very low (< 10). Marking as +pending.
Cheers.
