What were you trying to do?
Use zaway, with an away message that happened to be 85 characters.
What's wrong:
After replying to the first zephyr it gets, zaway crashes with:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08c3f000 ***
Abort
What should have happened:
It should have worked.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Testing reveals this happens to multiple people, but only on Linux.
The initial command I was running was:
zaway -m "Here, but not really watching Zephyr. Call if time sensitive, otherwise send e-mail"
However, any message of exactly 85 characters will cause this problem,
but messages greater or less than 85 characters will not. This is not
a major problem, but it was strange enough that I figured I should
report it.
