Thanks for your note. I tried glimpseindex -o but got the same error. gdb gives this stack trace:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x4004f848 in free () (gdb) where #0 0x4004f848 in free () #1 0x4004f7f1 in free () #2 0x804eaf0 in my_free () #3 0x8052802 in build_hash () #4 0x80502a1 in build_index () #5 0x804acf5 in main () (gdb) And the source (.../index/build_in.c) has this little gem: build_hash(); /* traverse1(); ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ removed on oct/8/96, bgopal, to see if crazysegvs disappear on lec As a workaround this appears to work: glimpseindex -B -b archive Sadly the more recent versions of the code seem to be harder to get to, unless you're an educational sort.
