[git/master] VisItBridge GMVReader: segfault while reading GMV file with broken fromfile reference
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
Load the attached file "foo.gmv" by means of the VisItBridge GMVReader in a nightly build. => segfault due to read attempt from NULL pointer with fscanf().
Reason behind is that the program logic in gmvread.c is in no way prepared to keep going in case of a broken fromfile reference. Originally, gmvread.c did a 'exit(0)' in that case, but that got commented out when adding to the VisIt source tree.
I have a patch to resolve this, but it requires other patches to gmvread.c to be applied first.
