The value returned by getenv() is not guaranteed to remain valid across other environment function calls. But in between our call and using the value, we run fill_textconv(), which may do quite a bit of work, including spawning sub-processes. We can make this safer by calling getenv() right before we actually look at its value. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> --- diff.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
