A new release?

[loskutov]

Newer Linux distros (now including Ubuntu 24.04) have -D_FORITFY_SOURCE=3 in their default CFLAGS, leading to crashes with the last 0.9.8 release. It has been fixed in the upstream almost a year ago (92bec88) but there never was a release including the fix.

Arch also enables -D_FORITFY_SOURCE=3 now and rtorrent crashes on Arch too.

I think both mean _FORTIFY_SOURCE, but I too can can confirm this is causing buffer overflow crashes. Is there any way we could help expedite a new release?

_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 enables execution time object size check, see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Source-Fortification.html.

snprintf(buf + strlen(buf), 255, ":+%i\n", getpid()); cannot pass the check because buffer_length_of(buf + strlen(buf)) < 255 and the program is aborted here.
