From 9eabd8d054f003960daa150324873474df7aab60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Holger Weiss Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2009 01:11:19 +0200 Subject: Fix the memory allocation for the thresholds data Allocate the appropriate amount of memory for storing the thresholds data. Before, we allocated the amount of memory required for storing a _pointer_ to the thresholds data. This crashed (at least) check_mysql when using its "-S" option on FreeBSD/amd64 (as reported and analyzed by Nikita Kalabukhov - 2797757).
