Bug#504200: segmentation violation when running recite

[reportbug_recite . to . peejay]

Package: recite
Version: 1.0-8
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: renders package unusable


When running "recite ok", me and two other fairly random lenny users
get a segmentation violation. Also a fairly random sid user reported
this problem.

("Fairly random" here means people on an irc #debian channel who responded
to a request to test it).

The bug makes the current lenny package unusable. And also lets audio
users do a buffer overflow.

Bug#504200: confirmation that it is fixed

[reportbug_recite . to . peejay]

"recite ok" works for me now (actually, "recite o kay" does what I really
intended when it comes to the sound output phonemes (not a bug)).

In lenny it still needs a "modprobe snd_pcm_oss" or it complains about not
finding /dev/dsp. But that's a devfs or kernel bug, not a recite bug.

happy end user
