I have fixed the error in ntea.cc handling the return value of NTQueryEaFile. This patch is only needed for the 1.5 release. Maybe this error should be considered as critical due to uninitialized stack usage of the variable fea when the function returned an error.

Thanks for the patch but this will have to be a known limitation of 1.5.x. We don't plan on making any new releases before 1.7 is rolled out.

But this could be a security problem and as long as we don't have released the 1.7 we should continue fixing critical parts because most of the users are using the stable version.
