locate

[Tom Fischer]

Hi,

i'm not sure about this but my locate (version 4.1) crashes with Segmentation 
fault (Program received signal SIGSEGV). It's reproduceable on every machine 
here. Pentium III and AMD K6. the chrash appears after i run updatedb and 
mountet windows-shares via samba.

This is what gdb says:

(gdb) run getline.c
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
Starting program: /usr/bin/locate getline.c
/usr/src/findutils-4.1/lib/getline.c
 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    at getline.c:104

hope this can help
