Package: klibc-utils
Version: 2.0.4-10
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Upgrading klibc-utils from 2.0.4-9 to 2.0.4-10 started to produce sigserv in 
fstype 

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

using latest version 2.0.4-10 :

$ dpkg -l klibc-utils               
||/ Name                               Version                Architecture      
     Description
+++-==================================-======================-======================-=========================================================================
ii  klibc-utils                        2.0.4-10               sparc64           
     small utilities built with klibc for early boot

$ /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ sudo /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype /dev/vdiska2
Segmentation fault

I tried with upstream klibc.git repo, but getting sigserv as well, and since
klibc.git does not have changed files almost a year now, not sure gdb backtrace
could be relevant, please see 
http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2017-December/003965.html


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

using older package version of 2.0.4-9 :
