thanks

Below is the change log entry that should have been in the binary
(version 0.3.14-10.1) that I uploaded, but because I forgot to rebuild
the binary package after changing the changelog (but after testing that
the fix actually fixes the bug) it wasn't included and also these three
bugs weren't closed. I'm marking them "fixed" with this message.

+scrollkeeper (0.3.14-10.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Non-maintainer upload.
+    Note that although #352714 against scrollkeeper is of severity
+    "normal", #352628 and #345563 against yelp are release critical,
+    which is justification for the NMU.
+  * Applied patch, with a modification to surround the addition with
+    parentheses, from
+    http://librarian.launchpad.net/1510562/scrollkeeper.patch (see also
+    https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/yelp/+bug/18434). This
+    fixes a memory allocation that is one array element too small. Note
+    that the original patch only adds one byte, but we need enough for
+    one char**. As it happens, adding just one byte will work, since
+    malloc rounds up to the next suitable multiple of word size (or
+    even larger unit), but it is not correct to rely on this.
+    Closes: #352714, #352628, #345563.
