Description Albrecht Dreß 2007-12-26 17:44:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
Crash when opening a Garmin IMG file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All versions of QLandkarte are affected

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch QLandkarte
2. Try to open any Garmin IMG file, e.g. one loaded from the web
  
Actual results:
Segmentation Fault.

Expected results:
Open and display the file.

Additional info:
The apparent reason for this behaviour is the fact that QLandkarte has not been
written as a system-independent application.  Instead of using a method to load
the Garmin IMG file, it simply "maps" it into memory and then uses these
structures in memory.  This will probably work on a little-endian machine (at
least if it doesn't crash on non-aligned memory accesses), but will fail "by
design" on *any* big-endian, including, but probably not limited to, PowerPC,
Sparc, Mips and 68k.
