From 15d28c8ce0a7f2d59edd7f068e931041d68511e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernhard Reutner-Fischer Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 23:19:16 +0200 Subject: locale: avoid segfault freelocale() PR 4964 Eric Nadler writes: It looks to me like the base structure is not fully initialized with 0 (only a subset of the structure is initialized). This later results in a free of base->collate.index2weight in _locale_set_l. This free tries to free uninitialized memory and segfaults.
