  I'm VACish for a while, but I'll try to have a look some time this
week. I don't have a clue. Random stack/heap corruptions have appeared
on less common architectures, and I never had any more clue than this.

  A binNMU has been attempted (not by me), the build succeeded, but
for a reason that fails me, it was refused:

Subject: librmagick-ruby_2.13.0-2+b1_sparc.changes REJECTED
Message-ID: <E1P0iUJ-000669-Nn at franck.debian.org>

Reject Reasons:
librmagick-ruby1.8_2.13.0-2+b1_sparc.deb: old version (2.13.0-2) in
unstable <= new version (2.13.0-2+b1) targeted at
testing-proposed-updates.

Notes:
Mapping testing to testing-proposed-updates.

  Maybe asking again for a binNMU (to unstable) would be fine ?

  Cheers,

      Vincent
