>Description:
From an xanim.core I found out that at least in some cases,
access() as found in libartsdsp.so (audio/arts package, source file
artsc/artsdsp.c) can enter infinite recursion. Unfortunately I do
not have the file which was played by xanim any more.
I suspect that patch-ab in audio/arts is the culprit: the
dlsym() call seems to find the "access" symbol provided by
the libartsdsp.so itself. The libartsdsp.so access() function
then calls the function found by dlsym() (i.e. it calls itself).
>How-To-Repeat:
The bug showed up while playing an animation with xanim. Unfortunately
I no longer have this file. But probably some code analysis (especially
of the patch-ab in the audio/arts package) is enough to locate the
reason for the problem.
