Crash when exporting to html

[Philippe Michel]

Gnubg crashes with "** stack smashing detected ***: gnubg terminated" when exporting a match to html (when creating the board elements images), a somewhat common use case.

It was reported upstream as https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?50617 and should be fixed there with the last revision of render.c.

The problem has been there for a long time (probably applies to all your supported versions) but remained hidden until strict compiler options began detecting the stack corruption.

Is there a plan to make a new upstream release? I always prefer to
incorporate an upstream release rather than trying to cherry-pick specific
patches.

That would be great -- I should have time this weekend to upload a new
package. Debian is in release freeze at the moment and this *probably*
isn't severe enough to warrant a freeze exception, so I'm not sure how
that will affect propagation into Ubuntu, but I think Ubuntu might pull
from Debian unstable during our release freezes.
