sed crash

[Kevin Scannell]

I have a simple test case that causes GNU sed to crash on Unicode text
in Myanmar script.  A sample input file is attached.

$ cat sedbug.txt | sed 's/[^x]x//'
sed: malloc.c:2451: sYSMALLOc: Assertion `(old_top == (((mbinptr)
(((char *) &((av)->bins[((1) - 1) * 2])) - __builtin_offsetof (struct
malloc_chunk, fd)))) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size)
>= (unsigned long)((((__builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk,
fd_nextsize))+((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1)) & ~((2 * (sizeof(size_t)))
- 1))) && ((old_top)->size & 0x1) && ((unsigned long)old_end &
pagemask) == 0)' failed.


$ sed --version
GNU sed version 4.2.1

$ uname -a
