The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: load on master?

there's a long lived bug (it has been there for years, afaik) in
glimpseindex that I have a crude patch for; basically it ends up
spinning around rereading the same 64K block over and over... I run a
version of glimpseindex which printf's every time the bug is
triggered.  index/build_in.c, line 1111:

 	    for (offset = 0; offset < stbuf.st_size; offset += BLOCK_SIZE) {
+	        if (residue == BLOCK_SIZE) {
+		  fprintf(stderr, "Bogus residue - inode %d file size %d offset %d\n",
+			  stbuf.st_ino, stbuf.st_size, offset);
+		  residue = 0;
+		}
 		offset -= residue;

Sometimes it doesn't print at all -- sometimes it triggers a few dozen
times in a single run.  When it does trigger, it is avoiding an
infinite loop; I don't know that it's *right* (the glimpse code has,
well, "design weaknesses" to put it politely :-) but the alternative
is wrong, so...

I believe I sent this patch in as part of a bug report already.
