Re: Segfault in login on debian potatoR2

Tested on debian ppc and couldn't get it to segfault.. I just get invalid
login... but on Yellow Dog (RH 6.2 derivative) it does:

[csteven@ash csteven]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Champion Server release 1.2
[csteven@ash csteven]$ login
login: ^D
login: ^D
Segmentation fault



Tested on Red Hat 6.2 proper and it does segfault:

[chuckw@gluon /tmp]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
[chuckw@gluon /tmp]$ login
login: ^D
login: ^D
Segmentation fault
