`st cat ~/x/txt/full-bmp.txt -
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) st cat ~/x/txt/full-bmp.txt -`
That's after 4-5 runs of st, not the absence of valgrind in the above
command line, with valgrind the splats are predictable and stable,
always pointing to the same stack trace at least.
I would love to provide a patch, but as mentioned before I don't really
understand the code in question.
