Re: [libmicrohttpd] Issue with response processing in 0.9.38

[Christian Grothoff]

Hmm. That sounds very bad.  connection.c:906 means that an internal
consistency check is being violated.  Now, this could (theoretically)
still be heap/stack corruption by the application, but that does not
seem terribly likely if you just updated the MHD version.

I'll take a closer look at the code, but any good way to reproduce this
would be very welcome (testcase, etc.). Off-list is also OK.

Happy hacking!
