[Sylvain]

Let's recap:

SDL_FORCE_SOUNDFONTS=1 ./playmus /usr/share/games/dink/dink/Sound/104.mid
SDL_FORCE_SOUNDFONTS=1 ./playmus /tmp/midibug/sound/10.mid


Results:

upstream 1.2.12 + bare ./configure
- 104.mid: OK
- minibug: OK

upstream 1.2.12 + bare ./configure + bug-694260-freedink_stack_corruption.patch:
- 104.mid: faster tempo
- minibug: slower tempo

debian 1.2.12-9 w/ all patches:
- 104.mid: faster tempo
- minibug: still crashes! #694260 ain't fixed!

debian 1.2.12-9 w/o any patch:
- 104.mid: OK
- minibug: still crashes!

debian 1.2.12-9 w/o any patch w/o -fstatck-protector:

minus all patches

current version witch all patches

1.2.12 from http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release-1.2.html

Indeed. It may be worth checking whether the patch is meant for
SDL_Mixer or SDL*2*_Mixer.
