Description Daniel Gryniewicz 2007-08-29 17:51:14 UTC 
Per this Gentoo bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190388 running the test suite for venus (http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/) causes a segfault in libxslt's python bindings.  I tracked this down to not zeroing out malloc'd memory.  Patch attached.
