Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to raise the issue, please
suggest a different forum if this isn't the right place.
I'm finding that after a recent software update for OS X 10.4.8
(powerpc G4), that tab-completion is causing out-of-memory frequently and
non-determinstically, making it difficult to reproduce. This occurs in
/bin/tcsh frequently, for example, just navigating around the directories.
I became really suspicious when my console programs that link against
libreadline (libedit.dylib) crashed similarly. I took a look at the list
of libraries in /usr/lib that were modified by the recent update, and
found /usr/lib/libedit.2.dylib and /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (among
many others). Have there been any recent modifications to either of these
libraries (or their relatives) that could conceiveably caused this? Has
anyone else (powerpc and/or command-line users, especially) been affected
by this?
I've filed a bugreport to Apple about my suspicious: radr:5025125
