RE: Tor 0.1.1.6-alpha is out

["Edman, Matt" <Matt_Edman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

More specifically, Tor is crashing trying to return from
connection_edge.c:connection_edge_end().

I believe this is caused by a change to connection_edge_end() in
http://archives.seul.org/or/cvs/Sep-2005/msg00003.html

This patch to 0.1.1.6-alpha should fix it:

Hi Bob,

The complete error message is:

===================================
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library

Debug Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Tor\tor.exe
Module: C:\Program Files\Tor\tor.exe
File:

Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'payload' was
corrupted.

Press retry to debug the application
===================================

"Retry" will crash Tor.

I'm getting it too after installing the new tor-0.1.1.6-alpha-win32. I
reverted back to tor-0.1.1.5-alpha-win32 and started getting with it as
well! Now that's odd, I didn't have this before...

It doesn't happen immediately, maybe an hour after starting.
