Description Nicolas Guilmain 2006-11-06 19:09:06 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open seahorse (gdb seahorse in my case)
2. Create a new PGP key (no changes in the standard options)
3. Type a quite long passphrase (~20 characters)

-> SIGABRT


Stack trace:
** ERROR **: file seahorse-secure-memory.c: line 114 (g_realloc): assertion failed: (seahorse_secure_memory_check (mem))

Comment 3 Adam Schreiber 2006-11-10 13:09:20 UTC

This fixes a rather long outstanding bug for me with the applet crashing when prompting for a passphrase.  I just couldn't get such a good stack trace.
