Martin Sebor updated STDCXX-931:
--------------------------------

    Priority: Minor  (was: Major)

Lowered priority since the bug isn't affecting users and appears isolated to the one test.

> The {{test_string()}} function in the {{0.printf}} test calls {{bad_address()}} to generate an invalid address.  This address is eventually passed to the {{\_\_rw::\_\_rw_memattr()}} function which uses the pointer value, specifically {{0x20}}, as the pointer value to the {{memchr()}} C library function which promptly aborts the program.  The invalid pointer should be caught before calling such C library functions which usually expect valid pointers.  Suspect the proliferous conditional code within the function or some other unaccounted platform dependency.  The preprocessed Darwin source for {{__rw_memattr()}} is shown below.
