Hi, When trying to use minicom, it segfaults when trying to open the serial port. The serial port exists and has a translator running on it. I have a feeling that this is a hurd problem. I have compiled minicom with debugging support. You can get it at ftp://walfield.org/pub/people/neal/hurd/minicom.tar.bz2. All it requires is a make install. You may also have to create the /var/spool/uucp directory (which the debian package should have check for IMHO). Before reporting any bugs, I would like a second opinion. Here are the results of my tests to date: # showtrans /dev/ttyS0 /hurd/term /dev/ttyS0 pty-slave /dev/ptyS0 # minicom Segmentation fault Note that minicom -s works. And will begins to segfault on exit once a a valid serial port is entered. # gdb `which minicom` GNU gdb 19990928 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
