Package: multitail
Version: 5.2.8-1
Severity: important

Hello,

that's a bit a nuissance ...

How to repeat:

* Start multitail against an arbitrary file.
* Do a forward search or highlight, i.e. "/" or "?".
* In the small window, enter "%", then "n".

Output (right across the terminal):

    *** %n in writable segment detected ***
    Aborted

syslog:
    segfault at 1 ip 00000000f7646a59 sp 00000000ff9a549c error 6 in 
libc-2.11.2.so[f7606000+13e000

The problem exists in squeeze, too. I did not check what %n is
supposed to do, but I doubt this is the desired behaviour.

Regards,

    Christoph
