[Nano-devel] Nano 1.3.8 and 1.3.8-cvs crashes on suse 9.3 x86_64

Hi!

Nano 1.3.8 and 1.3.8-cvs crashes on suse 9.3 x86_64 when I search in a 
document. Version 1.2.5 however is stable.

This is the backtrace:
#0  renumber (fileptr=0x0) at nano.c:171
#1  0x000000000040da90 in update_history (h=0x51f6e8, s=0x71f4f0 "fsd") 
at search.c:1214
#2  0x000000000040f010 in do_search () at search.c:449
#3  0x000000000040c817 in do_input (meta_key=<value optimized out>, 
func_key=0x7fffffffde4c, s_or_t=0x7fffffffde4d, ran_func=0x7fffffffde4e, 
finished=0x7fffffffde4f, allow_funcs=true) at nano.c:1671
#4  0x000000000040ccc2 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe348) at nano.c:2407

I believe this is because suse patches their glibc with a patch that 
adds amd64 optimized strings. Adding the same patch to gentoo's glibc 
makes nano crash the same way there too.

More info about the amd64 patch and the problem:
