summary: Crashes on Windows with serial backend class: bug: This is clearly an actual problem we want fixed. difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them. priority: high: This should be fixed in the next release. absent-in: 0.58 present-in: 0.59 fixed-in: r7168 b3a5cdc5fbab8884755690286211fa6b3425d9d3 2007-01-27 (0.60)
PuTTY (and PuTTYtel) frequently crash when using the serial port
backend. This is caused by a double free in the depths of the Windows
handle code, so it should also affect the use of proxy commands on
Windows. It's fixed in 0.60.
