[Pkg-silc-devel] Bug#447613: silc crashed after sleep/wakeup

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: silc
Version: 1.1.2-2
Severity: normal


i had silc session running on my machine.  I put the machine to sleep,
went home, and went to sleep myself.  In the morning, i woke up, woke
up the machine (on a different network now), and the silc client
crashed, leaving this in the terminal (server hostname and private
content redacted):

[20:06] <[S]dkg> [some goofy signed message...]
[08:23] *** Error during rekey with silc.example.org: Key exchange timeout
[08:28] *** No PONG reply from server silc.example.org in 301 seconds, 
        disconnecting

That's a lot of bytes to try to allocate!

It also didn't reset the terminal properly after the crash, which left
me without a cursor.
