Package: xmotd
Version: 1.17.3b-9

Dear maintainers,

on several Debian 9 computers, the stretch version of xmotd crashed every time with the following error message:

xmotd: Bad address

Then, I installed version 1.17.3b-8 from oldstable, which did not crash. Then, I built from source, which gave the following results:

1. Neither 1.17.3b-8 nor 1.17.3b-9 work if compiled under stretch.

2. Version 1.17.3b-8 works if compiled under jessie.

3. Version 1.17.3b-9 works if compiled under jessie AND hardening flags are removed from debian/rules.

Regards
  Christoph
