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...

Hello Jakub,

Tell me about it ;-) . But it is a good indication of where and how to
solve the issue.

The fact that 8.3 still segfaulted on me made me assume you were using
the original patch. As it was getting quite late (so it has on your end
I see :) I didn't look any closer yet.

Can you make the patch available anywhere before the push?

> Bill, mc-4.6.0-8.4 is in updates-candidate, can you please repush? Thanks.

And please be so kind to announce 8.1 and push it to the main tree in
the mean time. I am a bit surprised (to use an understatement) a
security patch lies around in testing for over 10 days but never got
announced. Not everybody is using testing on a regular basis, and even I
missed this update as it was not announced. And I was monitoring, as
announcements for RHEL and RH9 have already been made.

Thanks and hope you have a good night.

Bye,
Leonard.
