Details

Description: Tremulous doesn't start correctly, more precisely it remains in console mode with error messages about missing ui/menddef.h files. This only happens on 64bit systems, 32 bits work fine. Googling the problem, I've found that it is due to a couple of code lines in src/qcommon/parse.c that contains the instructions

strcpy(string, string+1);
strcpy(ptr, ptr+1);

changing them into

memmove(string, string+1, strlen(string));
memmove(ptr, ptr+1, strlen(ptr));

solves the problem. I've made such corrections on the AUR package tremulous-updated, because the tremulous package from community doesn't even start compiling for me, it seems some source file is no longer available for download. A similar problem has been reported about urbanterror in the forum, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129340

Additional info:
* package version(s) tremulous 1.1.0-7
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Start tremulous on a 64bit system.
This task depends upon

This looks like an upstream bug. I'll ping kev.

Hum, I thought I replied to this before. He said to ditch this version and package tremulous-updated as tremulous. I'll try to get to it soon
