[Bug translator/4066] hist_linear() with large H value crashes system

[Mike Mason]

I should have asked this question in a more general way.  When we find bugs in the cvs version of systemtap, then discover it appears in specific distro releases as well, what's the preferred way of handling it?  I'm thinking we should file several bug reports: one in systemtap bugzilla and one for each distro release in which it appears.  Lots of work, I know, but I can't think of any other way to make sure it's tracked and fixed everywhere.  Can anyone think of a less cumbersome way to achieve the same result?
