GDB trace of putty segmentation fault

Hi,

In Mageia 6, I found that putty always crashes when I try to use the mouse wheel to scroll.  It does not crash if I use the scroll bar with the mouse.

I did not get that problem in Mageia 5.

I attached the gdb trace I got.

Best regards,

Nico.

Assigning to the putty maintainer, who'll understand the attached backtrace better than I do :-)

Source RPM: (none) => putty

Some updates:

1. I am able to reproduce the crash on my mageia v6 x86-64 system.

2. The crash does not happen with a putty built from source without patches and while using version 3.0 of gtk+ and ./configure. And it also supports RSA auth which the mageia putty does not. If converting to use it will fix this and other problems, then I am keen to go with it.

Shlomi, your proposed fix sounds reasonable.  Nice work.

Hi,

With putty-0.69-2.mga6, I have no more crash.

Thank you very much,

Nico.
