Subject: DO NOT UPGRADE TO POTATO.  MENU UPLOAD ON OCT 2 KILLS SYSTEMS

I just did an upgrade.  The menu pkg ate memory like no tomorrow.  I have a
dual-330, 256m ram, 384m swap.  Update-menus calls install-menu, and I saw
that eating 280m of memory.

root     19580 21.6 83.3 282784 215152 pts/8 R    15:51   0:13 install-menu /etc/menu-methods//enlightenment-nosound -f --stdin

Cease and desist at all costs.

I have just been informed on irc that a fixed menu is in incoming.  So, it
should all be fixed tomorrow.

Source: menu
Binary: menu
Architecture: source i386
Version: 2.1.3-3
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: joost witteveen <joostje@debian.org>
Description:
 menu       - provides update-menus functions for some applications
Changes:
 menu (2.1.3-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Due to changes in the way the rope::find() function in
     libstdc++ works, menu 2.1.3-2 at all mem and then segfaulted.
     now using `string' again (no rope), and fixed that segfault.
   * Applied second patch from Joey Hess, to close open
     filehandles (this time the `32!=r' version)
