newsbeuter -x reload segfaults

[wookietreiber]

Everything else, interactive newsbeuter, even newsbeuter -x print-unread, works fine.

Here is the full gdb output of the backtrace:

$ gdb ./newsbeuter

Quit anyway? (y or n) y

I wonder why something like force_redraw is called at all while batch executing newsbeuter with -x.

Have you checked whether the bug persists with the latest revision in git master?

[wookietreiber]

I hadn't. Just did, seems gone in current master. Would you be open to releasing a new bug-fix version or alternatively provide a patch for 2.6 distributions / package maintainers may use to fix this issue?

[akrennmair]

That's the plan, hopefully within the next few weeks.

[wookietreiber]

Thanks. Luckily, for my distribution, there is already a newsbeuter-git package.
