Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: Fedora Core 1 Test Update: mc-4.6.0-8.3: msg#00408

Subject: Re: Fedora Core 1 Test Update: mc-4.6.0-8.3
Hello Bill, Jakub,

> This is an update to the previous testing update, 4.6.0-8.1. New changes
> listed below.

Note that 8.1 is a SECURITY fix but was never announced. You should
upgrade to 8.1!

> - update php.syntax file (#112645)
> - fix crash with large syntax file (#112644)

I am very glad you included the php.syntax file, but the patch I
uploaded for #112644 is buggy, as I found out and stated in that bug
report.

When running this version (8.3) I do still see a segfault when editing
php files.

Although just increasing MAX_WORDS_PER_CONTEXT to 4096 doesn't really
solve the cause of the segfault, at least it makes mc usable with most
large syntax files, like this one included in 8.3.

The included patch does not.

Either this patch should be fixed/redone or MAX_WORDS_PER_CONTEXT
increased to 4096. And everyone should upgrade to 8.1 now!

Bye,
Leonard.
