Package: imms
Version: 2.0.3-2
Severity: grave
Tags: patch,sid
Justification: renders package unusable
immsd will repeatedly segfault as soon as XMMS connects to its socket. The
underlying problem is a bug (feature?) with initstate_r() from
libc6(2.3.5). See also <a
href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323811";>Bug
323811</a>.
While this is definitely a libc6 bug, there is an easy workaround that
allows imms to work until libc is fixed. See attached patch (which is
technically for 2.1.1 but should apply to any 2.x source).
