Hi again,
So we recently got a bug in rawhide (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202152) where fontconfig was crashing on a G5 ppc64 box. It turns out that we've recently switched to using 64k page sizes on that architecture. This was causing problems in the FcCacheMachineSignature() which tries to write the hex encoded page size into 4 bytes of a buffer. Behdad suggested a reasonable work around. Namely, if the page size won't fit in 4 bytes, extend the page size one byte to the left into the empty space before it in the buffer. This should work because the string is never parsed.
For those interested, I've filed this here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7936 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
