Fix

Uncleared memory makes the cmap layer free junk

Comment 2 Alan Cox 2004-03-11 23:22:41 UTC
Bug not in 2.6 btw


Comment 3 Leonard den Ottolander 2004-06-18 22:23:57 UTC
* Tue Feb 17 2004 Dave Jones <davej>
- Fix leak in SSTFB driver.

I assume this is fixed? By the way, would this issue be relevant to
Legacy RHL 9?


Comment 4 Alan Cox 2004-06-18 23:09:42 UTC
Unrelated bug. Both are probably in legacy RH9. The fix for the oops
on load is valid for RH9 too I would suspect


Comment 5 David Lawrence 2004-09-29 20:04:18 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
