Sudden segmentation faults in system commands are usually related to hardware failure or miscompilation of core libraries. If you have a not-too-old LiveCD it should have memtest on it, the same goes for Boot CDs of some other distributions (Suse, maybe Knoppix). With that you could test your memory for failures. Also did you recompile any packages from sys-apps or sys-libs recently (check /var/log/emerge.log) ? Marius -- Public Key at http://www.genone.de/info/gpg-key.pub In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
