Package: suck
Version: 4.3.0-5
Severity: important
Each time I use suck after my server has been turned off for some time
(so there is more to download than usually) I get coredumps (most
frequently they can be removed by editing sucknewsrc and manually
moving article counters to things like -100).
Details:
a) As I found, the coredumping command is in my case
/usr/bin/suck news.astercity.net -AL /var/lib/news/active -br
/var/lib/suck/batch.news.astercity.net.26037 -dt /var/lib/suck -dm
/var/spool/suck/news.astercity.net -dd /etc/suck -p .news.astercity.net -N 119
-E /var/log/suck/errlog
(news.astercity.net is my news provider, configured in
/etc/suck/news.astercity.net etc)
b) Here is what gdb says (the address seem to be the same from run to
run in the same context)
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

c) strace ends with (after mentioning a lot of articles)
