[formatting fix]

same thing is showing up on the automated launchpad build:

​https://launchpadlibrarian.net/170804136/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-amd64.grass70_7.0.0%2B0ubuntu3~develppa~2~svn-30242~ubuntu12.04.1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

compiles ok, but then overflows during the --html-description run.

A small tweak was needed to the recent r59345, The string '3-499\0' needs room for at least 6 chars and it was only given 4. Try #59389.

Sorry for that, I had there just 499 and I changed it later without enlarging the buffer. And it didn't crash for me.

Replying to annakrat:

And it didn't crash for me.

a guess- recent versions of Debian (and thus Ubuntu) packaging rules add hardening flags to the compiler CFLAGS. I believe one of the results of this is that it forces programs to crash instead of continuing on in a memory-corrupted state. It also adds a number of warnings to the compile log when it suspects something bad could happen.

see ​https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening

You only get those flags for a self-compile if you add them manually or if you use the package build scripts.
