Hi Steve,

I've confirmed it with sarge and sid.  You can shorten the time it takes to
check mirrors with "-e 3" or similar.  However you should see the segfault
before any mirrors are tested since it's happening during the parsing of the
mirror list.  Did you "apt-spy update" before trying?

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-spy -d foo -o foo.list
Segmentation fault

The problem appears to be that the format of the README.mirrors.txt file has
changed to add an "architectures" column.  Unfortunately, due to a chronic
attack of Real Life[tm] I've not had a chance to chase it properly.

We may have to change the format of the mirrors file back (which will 'fix' it
trivially), or keep the new format, but with a new name.  Again this will 'fix'
it trivially.

I wasn't aware that the team responsible for that file were going to change the
format, so I wasn't watching for this.  Apologies for lack of vigilance.

I'll do my best to find time to chase this and come up with a fix next week.

Cheers,
Stephen
