Bug#482317: libxt6: scroll list overflow in gv
Hello Julien and others,
Heh, I have almost forgotten what this was about; gv was not able to display large .ps files. It got hung after certain amount of pages, but I can't remember what was the magical limit.
Sorry, but I don't have any suitable free hardware to install native Debian testing/unstable distro on.
But I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed and patched up to date. Ubuntu is Debian-based? Installing gv from the standard distribution package there, I tested with a file that is bigger that my test files two years ago, and the problem is not there any more.
Using synaptic, checking the installed libxt6 version, I see that 1:1.0.7-1is the one that I have. And I am pretty sure that this is no testing branch.
To me, it seems that the problem has been fixed somewhere.
Thanks for you all, and Merry Christmas.
-juha
