Package: preload Version: 0.4-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Preload doesn't close /var/lib/preload/preload.state after unlinking. In
result it eats more and more space on hard disk, breaking some things
when the space ends.

The problem sits in line 1070 of preload-0.4/src/state.c
(near g_unlink (tmpfile); ), where some kind of close() (g_close()?
I don't know glib) is missing.
