[bt-devel] SegFault in 2.3.3 during navigation

[Martin Gruner]

Eeli,

I just looked at the "fix" in r1726. It seems kindof dangerous to just copy the 
key object, introducing a memory leak. I would guess that this only masks the 
original crash problem instead of fixing it, but I cannot tell for sure now.

I don't have the time now to investigate it, will be away until Monday.

Nun ist der Bauplan als Beweis beliebt,
dass es den Architekten gar nicht gibt.
