[Mason-devel] Bug#491483: libhtml-mason-perl: [patch] segfaults when alter_superclass method is used

[Charles Fry]

Can someone from the Mason community please comment on this bug? I'm
glad to apply the proposed patch in Debian if it will be going into
upstream. Is this fix the right thing to do?

thanks,
Charles

I'll take a look at this over the next few weeks. If you want to make a
quick release, feel free to apply the patch. I may come up with a slightly
different variation on the code, but the essential idea is correct.

Unfortunately, we freeze in about 5 days. :(

Well, I have free time, and I'm really jetlagged, so what better time for
a release? Look for 1.40 shortly. It'll have a fix very close to Jesse's
(just with different var names).
