Description Dan Winship 2005-09-10 01:23:37 UTC

There's a really awful 32-bit assumption in dbus/mono/Arguments.cs. This
patch isn't the right fix, but it works around the problem for now by
just always allocating enough memory for the 64-bit structure whether
we're on 32 or 64 bit.

JP says this is thoenig@suse.de's package

Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2005-09-10 01:39:11 UTC

It affects banshee and probably f-spot and tomboy as well.

Dan, you can always submit somebody else's package, no problem with that.

I'll take care of this myself now.  thanks for the hack.
