And this is the bug: internalURL = (char *) realloc (internalURL, internalURLlen + strlen (schema + 1)); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you take the length of schema+1 but copy schema. > Note that this code even with the unchecked calls to realloc () runs fine > on win2k and linux. Btw I'll add the additional checks but I still think there > is some kind of problem with wine. It could be argued that since it doesn't crash on Windows it shouldn't crash on Wine. But I suspect that with some other combination of strings you could make it crash on Windows too. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.com
