Cfagent dumps core on trustkey=true for solaris 9...

[Anne Cross]

I'm running solaris 9 on a sparc processor, and I've got a single config 
that's set up to just connect and get the latest update.conf after a 
jumpstart.

We've compiled 2.1.14 into a package against db 4.2.37 using gcc 3.4.3,
and the software is, in fact, connecting correctly to get the key -
however, right after it copies the key down, cfagent dumps core.  The
file does not transfer.

Once the key has successfully been copied, a re-run of the config works 
just fine.

I can send the core file to anyone who knows better than I how to make 
use of it - debugging core files is not an area of expertise that I 
claim.

Here's the relevant chunks of config:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

control:
      CFMaster = ( cfd.usg.tufts.edu )
      myconfigdir = ( /var/cfengine/inputs/ )
      mysourcedir = ( /local/cfengine/cf2/ )
  
      actionsequence = ( copy )

##########################################################################
  
copy:
  
     $(mysourcedir)update.conf
        dest=$(myconfigdir)update.conf server=$(CFMaster) trustkey=true

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  And can anyone offer a 
suggestion on what to do about it?  Given that cfengine is pretty 
central to our infrastructure, we'd really rather it not be dumping core 
all over the place.
