Summary: gxfcopy.c: false assumption about pointer size in call to qsort(3)

Description Matthias Kilian 2006-10-19 07:49:29 UTC 
in gxfcopy.c, there's a call to qsort(3) with an array of pointers as base but 
sizeof(int) given as the element size. This leads to all sorts of errors, 
including (but probably not limited to) bus errors on platforms where pointers 
have a different size then ints (e.g. on amd64). I'll attach a patch for this 
bug.

Use sizeof(*a), not sizeof(in).

Thank you for using and testing Ghostscript.
This bug has been already fixed in the current development version.
