Package: libmath-numbercruncher-perl
Version: 5.00-7
Severity: important
Hi.
(1)
First, there is a bug at line 159:
for ( $i = 0 ; $i <= @$a_ref ; $i++ ) {
^^^^
should be: '<'
(2)
Then (less easy to find out what is going on) some methods apparently hang
when used repeatedly (i.e. in a loop): the program continue running but
doesn't do anything useful (but doesn't seem to consume more more and more
memory). It happens (at least) with 'Distance' and 'StandardDeviation'.
After noticing the problem, I changed the code to call my own version of
these functions, and the program ran to completion.
Best,
Gilles
