I've reached the same conclusion (now) compiling cmatrix with debug
symbols and running gdb. The problem is cmatrix is unmaintained upstream
since 2002. What do you suggest: must I do a simple patch, configure it
in the package and then send it upstream?
I'm trying to learn the right way to maintain packages. I appreciate
your critics :)
Thanks.
