Package: nano
Version: 2.4.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #787890

Dear Maintainer,

I am having a similar problem with Nano crashing when passing a file to edit on 
the command line.  If I start Nano by itself, it works as one would expect and 
lets me edit normally.  If I do something like this:

nano test

it crashes with a segmentation fault.  It doesn't matter if the file already 
exists or if it is a new file.  Interestingly, nano-tiny doesn't have this 
problem and passing files works fine.  I am writing this report with nano-tiny.

I don't know if this matters, but on another system running Debian Testing with 
kernel 2.6.32 and sysvinit, the regular Nano 2.4.1 package works fine when 
passing a file name on the command line.  Version 2.4.0 didn't have this 
problem.  On my other system running Testing, I haven't installed most library 
updates since Jessie, so perhaps it's a library issue.  On the system where it 
crashes, it's a virtual machine.  I will be happy to send logs, but I'm not 
sure which logs to send.  This happens with both regular and root user accounts.
