Package: gedit Version: 2.12.1-2 Severity: normal
if the contents of a file are a long datalist that does not consist of newlines, gedit will perform very slowly, hog a bunch of ram, then crash. the following code (which computes the largest known prime and outputs that number to stdout; http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/mersenne.html) is a demonstror of this bug. the output causes gedit to practically grind to a halt. the problem arises because the output contains no newlines. the computation itself only takes about 3 minutes on my 1.6 GHz processor: #!/bin/bash echo '''#include <stdio.h> int m=754974721,N,t[1<<24],a,*p,i,e=30611555,j,s,c,U;f(d){for(s=1<<24;s/=2;d=d* 1LL*d%m)if(s<N)for(p=t;p<t+N;p+=s)for(i=s,c=1;i;i--)a=*p+p[s],p[s]=(m+*p-p[s])*1LL *c%m,*p++=a%m,c=c*1LL*d%m;for(j=0;i<N-1;){for(s=N/2;!((j^=s)&s);s/=2);if(++i<j) a=t[i],t[i]=t[j],t[j]=a;}}main(){*t=2;U=N=1;while(e/=2){N*=2;U=U*1LL*(m+1)/2%m;f (362);for(p=t;p<t+N;p++)*p=*p*1LL**p%m*U%m;f(415027540);for(a=0,p=t;p<t+N;)a+=*p <<(e&1),*p++=a%10,a/=10;}while(!*--p);t[0]--;while(p>=t)printf("%d",*p--);}''' > largest-known-prime.c gcc -o largest-known-prime largest-known-prime.c ../largest-known-prime > out gedit out -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gedit depends on: ii gconf2 2.14.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gedit-common 2.12.1-2 light-weight text editor support f ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaspell15 0.60.4-3 GNU Aspell spell-checker runtime l ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.10.1-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcairo2 1.0.2-3 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libeel2-2 2.12.2-3 Eazel Extensions Library (for GNOM ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libgail-common 1.8.11-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgail17 1.8.11-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgconf2-4 2.14.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.1-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.4.9-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.12.0.1-5 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeprint2.2-0 2.12.1-3 The GNOME 2.2 print architecture - ii libgnomeprintui2.2-0 2.12.1-2 GNOME 2.2 print architecture User ii libgnomeui-0 2.12.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.12.2-5 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.13-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtksourceview1.0-0 1.4.2-2 shared libraries for the GTK+ synt ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.0-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.0-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System multi-head display ii libxml2 2.6.23.dfsg.2-3 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-10 A free electronic cataloging syste ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime gedit recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
