Re: [Bug-readline] Readline fuzz testing

[frederik]

Hi Chet,

I'm curious to see what kind of fixes were made. Can you point us to
two or three of them by URL? I'm looking here and I've navigated
around a bit but I can't seem to orient myself:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/readline.git/

This sounds like an interesting learning opportunity...

Thanks,

Frederick
