Subscribed Ubuntu Sponsors for main as I'm not a core-dev and will require a sponsor to upload.

Accepted into edgy-proposed.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

This has been fixed in Feisty in 7.5.15.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Cody, please go ahead with QA testing for this according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

I'd be glad to try and verify this fix if someone would post the steps to reproduce the problem.

[Martin Meredith (mez)]

Scott, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzflag/+bug/68074 for
how to replicate

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I verified the fix. It can go into edgy-updates now.

I used the callsign/password that I also used in the forum to connect. The second connect gave me a segfault.
After applying the update I was able to connect/disconnect 10 times without a single segfault.

I will mark this verification-done.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I did a no-change upload and accepted it into feisty-updates.

[Cody A.W. Somerville (cody-somerville)]

I hope you mean edgy-updates.
