I confirm this trivial dd command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1k count=1
crashes with a fresh Ubuntu 6.06 installation off the CD with updates. (i386, 32-bit). It crashes for LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 and LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but not LANG=C, LANG=en_GB or LANG=en_US. I found this to be a problem when various build processes (which use dd) for my own programs started crashing... -- locale dependant segfault for dd https://launchpad.net/bugs/42264 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
