Description Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2004-12-09 07:27:34 UTC 
This function is not accumulating the result across the different calls
corresponding to each dir in XDG_DATA_DIRS, because of the line reading

  list->aliases = malloc (alloc * sizeof (XdgAlias));

The call to qsort should be protected with a if (list->n_aliases > 0), since the
call to reallocate which immediately precedes it might set list->aliases to NULL.

Same comments on _xdg_mime_parent_read_from_file.
Comment 1 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2004-12-09 07:28:44 UTC 
Setting version and marking as important, as this causes crashes on anything
using the mime system for me, and I guess for others.

Fixed in gnome-vfs CVS too, as well as in the master xdgmime copy in
freedesktop.org CVS.
