i was playing with some tool while i got this error from cut:

Indeed i used an unusual (useless? -.-) command:
$ cut -d'/' -f4 /etc/*
I'm using GNU/Linux Debian Etch with cut 5.97 and GNU libc 2.3.6.ds1-13.
I can't reproduce this with the latest coreutils. This is most likely
the fix:
* Noteworthy changes in release 6.8 (2007-02-24) [not-unstable]
cut no longer dumps core for usage like "cut -f2- f1 f2" with two or
more file arguments. This was due to a double-free bug, introduced
in coreutils-5.3.0.
