Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 22:22:26 +0100 (BST)
Here's a new patch incorporating the official fix which was checked into the
cvs cvs(!) tree; it also fixes a related memory leak.
ChangeLog entry as follows:
2001-06-20 Derek Price <dprice@collab.net>
* logmsg.c (do_editor): Abort in the case that the file has only
comment lines.
(Original patch from Mark Valentine <mark@thuvia.demon.co.uk>.)
* logmsg.c (do_editor): Fix rare memory leak.
