Title: core dump
Submitter: Thomas Arts
Date: Tue Feb 5 08:09:44 2002
Subsys: Dot
Version: 1.7c
System: Sparc-SunOS-5.8
Severity: critical
Problem:
when running

dot -Tsvg

on the file I attached, we get:

Segmentation fault, core dump

same error does not occur when we run under RedHat linux.
Input:

see attached file (long and ugly, sorry).
Input file: b81.dot
Comments:
works under RedHat linux version of dot, thus is typical for SunOS version.

[erg] Core dumps on sgi. The problem is clearly related to the label size. To get a core dump, it is sufficient to reduce the graph to the single edge 75 -> 76.
Fix:
Avoided fixed character array for potentially big output such as labels and comments.
