Hello,
I have received a few reports from users that the Bacula director
segfaults on invalid configuration files. Below is one such report, and
an excerpt from the config file that caused the issue. The full copy of
this report is at http://bugs.debian.org/387838.
BTW, is forwarding these to the mailing list the appropriate thing to be
doing?
Thanks,
-- John

What is that norm? Norm is any file as config, even binary, should not
cause segfault. segfault means no error handling, badly written code and
wrong programming concept at all. segfault should never appear and nowhere.

No, but trying reproduce and successful result here is. My
config is split into few files, one of them was started as
follow:
##### HOST ############### Storage { Name = terra Address = terra SDPort = 9103
Password = ""
Device = terra
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
Media Type = File
}
And this cause segfault. Corrected one look like this:
##### HOST ###############
Storage {
Name = terra
Address = terra
SDPort = 9103
Password = ""
Device = terra
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
Media Type = File
}
This is OK. Password removed. You see: there are comment and four
(Name,Address,SDPort and Password) attributes all in one line. This is root
of problem.
