**Resending as it seems that the attachments caused the last email to wind up in a black hole** There seems to be bug in the `git apply` that leads to out-of-bounds memory access when --ignore-space-change is combined with --inaccurate-eof and applying a patch. On occasion, this can lead to error output like the following: mqudsi@ZBook ~> git apply --ignore-space-change --ignore-whitespace --allow-overlap --inaccurate-eof without_whitespace.diff *** Error in `git': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000002543530 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x777e5)[0x7fdda79c77e5] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x8213e)[0x7fdda79d213e] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_malloc+0x54)[0x7fdda79d4184] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(_IO_file_doallocate+0x55)[0x7fdda79bd1d5] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(_IO_doallocbuf+0x34)[0x7fdda79cb594] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(_IO_file_overflow+0x1c8)[0x7fdda79ca8f8] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(_IO_file_xsputn+0xad)[0x7fdda79c928d] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(fputs+0x98)[0x7fdda79be0c8] git[0x5386cd] git[0x538714] git[0x538940] git[0x40e220] git[0x410a10] git[0x41256e] git[0x412df7] git[0x415935] git[0x406436] git[0x40555c] The original file being patched (clipboard.vim) and the patch file that I had attempted to apply (without_whitespace.diff) are attached, along with the full, unabridged output of the memory map as a result of the out-of-bounds access (memory_map.txt). The memory map output was generated under git 2.7.4; repeated attempts to reproduce the memory map dump with both 2.7.4 and 2.15 produce the following output: mqudsi@ZBook ~/.c/nvim> git apply --ignore-space-change --inaccurate-eof --whitespace=fix without_whitespace.diff fatal: BUG: caller miscounted postlen: asked 248, orig = 251, used = 249 Mahmoud Al-Qudsi NeoSmart Technologies --Attachments-- * clipboard.vim: http://termbin.com/u25t * without_whitespace.diff: http://termbin.com/bu9y * memory_map.txt: http://termbin.com/cboz
