Package: mailutils
Version: 1:1.2+dfsg1-4
Followup-For: Bug #510949
With a .mailrc file containing just two alias definitions
and no other settings or even lines, mailx will crash with
a segmentation fault when invoked either as root or another
user in the manner
mail user
to send mail. or as
mail
to read mail, both on the "arm" platform.
Removal of the second alias results in the segmentation fault
not occurring.
Perhaps the other reporters of this bug could try commenting out
all but one of the alias definitions in their .mailrc files and
see if the segmentation fault no longer occurs for them?
I also have the same version of mailutils on another Debian 5.0.2
system on an "i386" platform and even though there is more than one
alias defined in the .mailrc, no segmentation violation occurs
there for either sending or reading mail.
Since I also get a segmentation violation when trying to fire up
amule-daemon on the "arm" platform system, I wonder if the cause of
this problem is not due to a bug in mailutils or amule-daemon but
a more serious fundamental problem in one of the core libraries for
the "arm" platform, in particular libc6?
Thanks in advance for your work in getting this bug fixed,
Greg Miller
