Package: info Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 (Problem originally observed on lenny, with info 4.11.dfsg.1-4, both i386 and amd64 platforms; confirmed on squeeze i386.)
The info command reproducibly segfaults when viewing a certain (possibly corrupt, but still...) info file. To reproduce, get /usr/share/info/accounting.info.gz from version 6.4~pre1-6 of the acct package. This is the version in lenny; I was unable to reproduce the segfault with the corresponding file from acct 6.5.4-2 which is currently in squeeze. Then run "info accounting", navigate to the menu entry for dump-acct, and hit Return. Programs should not crash in the face of unexpected data, so this is a bug in the info command. (There may also be, or have been, a problem in the acct package but that's another story.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
