Description
Pan crashes while viewing message headers. Multi-byte characters in the subject line appear to be the cause. The full text of the entry in /var/log/messages is
pan[15197]: segfault at 0 ip b684eca3 sp bf7fffcc error 4 in libc-2.17.so[b67ce000+186000]
pan 0.139 Slackware 14.1 (32 bit) XFCE Intel Pentium 4 - 2.80GHz
Normally I am able to work around this by running a Perl one-liner on the group file. But occasionally even this doesn't fix the problem. The script is:
perl -i.bk -pe 's/[^[:ascii:]]/*/g;' alt.binaries.sounds.lossless.jazz
The instant issue is with the above listed newsgroup after wiping the old groups file and downloading the past 480 days of headers from newsdemon.com.
