That's what I was trying to link in as a replacement, but some
libraries still seemed to be using the newlib one, hence freeing
within NetSurf was crashing. I'm wondering whether that is due to the
lib in question being dynamically linked. I'll have a play with my
buildsystem and try again.

I've reported it, with a characteristic typo in the description field.

With best wishes,

Even if it is, more data helps fix bugs. You can work out if it's well known
by looking at the bug tracker.

To assume is to make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'. Please provide a detailed
report explaining what you're doing, what you're fetching, what happens, what
version of NS you're running on what version of what OS, etc. It's critical
that you give us as much data as possible so we can reproduce the issue as you
see it. Otherwise we may find and fix a bug but not the one you're seeing.

The best way to report bugs is to report them on the tracker. Dealing with
duplicates or 'already fixed's on the tracker is easy. Ditto if you look on
the tracker and see your issue reported already, please do be sure to actually
go through the report and ensure that you cannot add any extra data. We need
every hint we can get.

It isn't.

Well, that's not particularly helpful, tbh. Either report a bug with the
log file, or don't tell us at all. Please don't complain that something
is broken then provide zero information as to what the actual symptoms
are: this wastes both your and our time.

Which one of us will submit a bug report?

Latest builds crash when opening hotlist/history pages

Builds json-904 and json-904 both crash when I double-click on a hotlist
or browsing history entry with a stack backtrace along the following

Reverted to json-825 without further test attempts, as
http://netsurf.strcprstskrzkrk.co.uk/ (the download address in my
hotlist) is extremely difficult to type accurately when menu selection
doesn't work :-(
