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.
Comment 3 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-10 08:40:37 UTC 
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.
Comment 4 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-10 08:53:47 UTC 
Fixed package submitted and checked-in for RC2.
