Hi, The GNU locate (version 4.1) crashes with Segmentation fault (Program received signal SIGSEGV). reproduced on 3 different machines. the chrash appears after i run updatedb and mountet windows-shares via samba. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x8049588 in getstr (lineptr=0xbffffb30, n=0xbffffb34, stream=0x804a970, terminator=0 '\000', offset=65584) at getline.c:104 104 in getline.c I'm not a programmer but i think it's possible to manipulate the stack but not serious dangerous i think. regards, Tom Fischer
