[maemo-users] osso_rss_feed_reader hangs on http://lwn.net/headlines/rss

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  Hi,

the current http://lwn.net/headlines/rss (Linux Weekly News) feed 
can be processed again without hanging the osso_rss_feed_reader.

I preserved the 'malicious' rss file, which reproduces the hang, here:
http://armin-warda.de/lwn.net-headlines-rss

This has been reported as bug 466 to http://bugs.maemo.org/ by me.

  regards, Armin.
