Description Rick L Vinyard Jr 2007-05-25 21:57:51 UTC 
Description of problem: 

referencer 1.0.3 has a critical memory bug on x86_64. The bug is evidenced when 
trying to save a file. The following URLs have more info:

I know this is an upstream bug, but perhaps an excludearch, or a build from 
subversion (which apparently has the fix already) would be appropriate?
Comment 1 Deji Akingunola 2007-05-25 23:02:51 UTC 
I've seen it myself, and was hoping for ver 1.0.4 to come out soon with the fix.
Thanks for the report.

FWIW here are a fix for the 1.0.3 bug and a specfile that incorporates the fix...
Comment 5 Deji Akingunola 2007-05-30 13:11:39 UTC 
Thanks for the patch and the specfile, I've tested it and it works OK. The new
package with the fix should appear with the next set of updates.
