crash when looking for bidi text
Last modified: 2009-01-29 09:46:56 UTC
this is on tank. Crash here: Can't find Unicode property definition "BidiClass:R" at /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Display/Graphics.pm line 225. right before this I printed out the string in question: June Windows Update To Be Biggest in a Year -- Supersonic1425 writes "The BBC reports that this month's security update from Microsoft will be the one of the biggest this year. Nine of the patches are for Windows � one classed as critical � two are for Office and one for the Exchange e-mail server software." From the article: "At least one of the loopholes being patched is already being actively exploited by malicious hackers. ... Microsoft is not only tackling security problems but also the fallout of a legal case that the software giant lost." Probably able to reproduce by sending a display command with some high-bit text in the message.
Dean - have you tried this with a new/different perl?
ping
Ok - slimserver on tank is now running perl 5.8.8 out of /usr/local/bin/ FYI, /usr/bin/perl is now a symlink to /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8
Dean - how is this looking with the new perl?
Subject: Re: crash when looking for bidi text Better, but I want to give it a little more time.
Dean hasn't had any crashes since perl was upgraded on his machine.. Closing a perl issue for now.
Really fixed in change 9483
