freeze when display help

[Mitsuya Shibata]

Binary package hint: nano

In 2.0.7-1, nano freeze when display Japanese help messeage.

LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 nano
Ctrl+G

Because Japanese language usually don't use separatable character in sentence, nano fail to discover where to break line, and go to infinity loop. I have sent patch to upstream ML(*), but I have no reply.

Sorry Cal Christie, I mistakenly subscribed you to the bug.

Chris Cheney: can you take a look at this?

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

This doesn't look like a proper debdiff but I will hack it into shape.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Ah sorry I am too sleepy to realize what I was looking at. Its a diff.gz, ok that should be relatively simple. In the future debdiff's are easier to deal with. If you don't know how to create a debdiff then please see here:

It doesn't cause that much more work for the developer sponsoring but it is easier to see what is changed especially on launchpad.

      force line break. (LP: #201769, #188611)
