mark_curve_big is not in sle12 or older, so probably just opensuse affected.
Comment 2 Johannes Segitz 2017-06-02 14:09:41 UTC
asked for the reproducer in the upstream bug
Comment 3 Daniel Molkentin 2018-01-19 13:17:32 UTC
Factory today has a newer release (9.22) where this is fixed. This can be closed.
Comment 5 Marcus Meissner 2020-01-28 07:10:26 UTC
fixed
