RE: wget_wch problem

[Saravanan Bellan]

This is the stack trace when compiled with libncurses_g,

(gdb) bt
#0  0xff3516e4 in __mbrtowc_dense_gb18030 ()
   from /usr/lib/locale/zh_CN.GB18030/methods_zh_CN.GB18030.so.2
#1  0x1da08 in wget_wch (win=0x6764c, result=0xffbef578)
    at ../ncurses/./widechar/lib_get_wch.c:85
#2  0x135f0 in main (argc=1, argv=0xffbef5f4) at wget.c:21

This is with Sun's locale support.

perhaps linking against libncurses_g would give more information.
Is this with Sun's locale support, or using libiconv?
I may be able to test the latter on Linux.

Reading the code, I suspect a buffer overflow - since the buffer
into which mbrtowc writes is fixed (I should alter that).
