Hi,
I decided to profile Remind with gprof and was getting very odd results.
This commit from 2007 introduced a bug:
https://salsa.debian.org/dskoll/remind/-/commit/b40d5d7984b88f3c559adcd9ae843571e02d2cc9
which I just fixed in this commit:
https://salsa.debian.org/dskoll/remind/-/commit/a25afb97715bde8cc0959607108742417d2a0a01
Luckily, even though the logic was completely backwards, the only
effect it had was to slow down Remind and not cause any crashes or
security vulnerabilities.
I tell ya... this programming business keeps me humble...
Regards,
Dianne.
