Public bug reported: Binary package hint: joe
$ jmacs foo bar Processing '/etc/joe/jmacsrc'...Processing '/etc/joe/ftyperc'...done done Segmentation fault (core dumped) According to gdb, the error occurs in main.c:434 which reads p_goto_bol(bw->cursor); One can easily see that bw in this case will always be NULL. Upstream has commited a fix, but not released it yet: http://joe-editor.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/joe-editor/joe-current/main/main.c?r1=1.5&r2=1.6 Applying that patch to the joe sources fixed the issue for me, at least on Gentoo: http://bugs.gentoo.org/283508 It would be great if this straight-forward fix from upstream could be included with the joe package for Karmic.
