Details

** DISPUTED ** An issue has been found in HTSlib 1.8. It is a memory leak in bgzfgetline in bgzf.c. NOTE: the software maintainer's position is that the "failure to free memory" can be fixed in applications that use the HTSlib library (such as test/testbgzf.c in the original report) and is not a library issue.
