Description Philipp Nordhus 2008-11-05 13:56:33 UTC 
The Linux version of SDL_SYS_JoystickQuit() tries to free an invalid pointer when the number of joysticks was reduced since the last call.

Reproduce: Connect two joysticks, call SDL_Init() and SDL_Quit(), then disconnect one joystick and call the functions again.

Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-09-13 16:33:25 UTC 
Tagging this bug with "target-1.2.14" so we can try to resolve it for SDL 1.2.14.

Please note that we may choose to resolve it as WONTFIX. This tag is largely so we have a comprehensive wishlist of bugs to examine for 1.2.14 (and so we can close bugs that we'll never fix, rather than have them live forever in Bugzilla).

--ryan.
