Hi Hanno,

Thank you very much for reporting this.


    The bug seems to be a call of free on a nonallocated pointer. The bug
    was found with the fuzzing tool american fuzzy lop in ed 1.14.


Yes, it was a stupid overlook. I changed a malloc'd buffer for a static one and forgot to remove the corresponding 'free'. I'll release a corrected version shortly.



Best regards,
Antonio.

I'd say: wait for 1.15
