Synopsis: Balloc did not check mallocated pointer in libc/stdlib/strtod.c

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: maxim
State-Changed-When: Sat Jul 17 21:05:25 GMT 2004
State-Changed-Why:

functions from the signal handler.  There is a list of async-signal safe
functions in the sigaction(2) man page.
