[reportlab-users] pyRXP - strange non-deterministic errors on python 2.7 and 64-bit Linux

[Robin Becker]

OK this is the errant code in url.c

p=merged_path

.....

fprintf(stderr,"           261: merged_path=%s i=%d j=%d p[i+1]=%c\n", 
merged_path,i,j,p[i+1]);
             /* Do we have "." ? */

             if(j - i == 2 && p[i+1] == '.')
             {fprintf(stderr,"           265: p+i+1=%s p+j=%s 
(&p[i+1]-&p[0])=%d\n", p+i+1,p+j,&p[i+1]-&p[0]);
                 strcpy(&p[i+1], p[j] ? &p[j+1] : &p[j]);
fprintf(stderr,"           267: merged_path=%s\n", merged_path);



the x32code produces these lines
             261: 
merged_path=/home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/./second-longer-file.xml 
i=76 j=78 p[i+1]=.
            265: p+i+1=./second-longer-file.xml p+j=/second-longer-file.xml 
(&p[i+1]-&p[0])=77
            267: 
merged_path=/home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/second-longer-file.xml



           261: 
merged_path=/home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/./second-longer-file.xml 
i=76 j=78 p[i+1]=.
            265: p+i+1=./second-longer-file.xml p+j=/second-longer-file.xml 
(&p[i+1]-&p[0])=77
            267: 
merged_path=/home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/secd-longer-fifile.xml


so the error appears to be in strcpy; not sure if that's rxp's fault or not any 
ideas?
