Package: bsdutils
Version: 1.3-1
It is trivial to make /bin/kill segfault:
$ /bin/kill -l
INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT UNUSED FPE KILL USR1 SEGV USR2 PIPE ALRM TERM STKFLT CHLD
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The appended patch fixes the bug. I suspect the person who wrote the code
has had some bad memories about Pascal :)
PS NSIG is the largest valid signal number + 1.
