Re: RealPlayer Buffer Problem

Plays just fine on a RedHat7.2 box.

hmm, what version of RealPlayer are you running?  You are actually
the first to tell me it plays fine.  Have you tried making other
similar alterations to the file?  It won't crash immediately if on a
particular version the buffer isn't located very close to the end of
the allocated memory.  It may crash after you re-open the file a few
times though, cause the overflow trashes the heap.

thanks
