ATTN. DEVS, SERIOUS BUG (Re: [CF-Devel] Archetypes, New maps, Idease?)

[crossfire-devel at archives.real-time.com]

Congratulations, you found a legitimate - and possibly dangerous
- bug in the server :-/

what is your libc and locale?  I have glibc 2.3.4 (20040808) and
lalo:~SRC/crossfire/server/=build/server> locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=pt_BR
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=


The culprit is that, at line 118 of treasure.c, isspace() is
skipping over the \0 that should signal end of string.  So, a
line in the treasures file consisting of only whitespace (which
your file does have) crashes the server.

I'd submit a patch, but I'm still pondering on the right fix.
