Package: amanda-server
Version: 1:3.1.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss


I'm not sure if this belongs as grave or serious, but either way it is 
showstopper segfault and thus RC.
amreport is updated throughout the backup process so when amreport segfaults it 
interrupts the backup (or flush).  This means no backup is possible an thus 
introduces the possibility of data loss.  

The only message I get is this message in dmesg/syslog
[382769.476112] amreport[25359]: segfault at 0 ip b7658425 sp bfe35ec8 error 4 
in libc-2.11.2.so[b75e5000+140000]

It is rather alaraming because it means I can't backup my system (I don't have 
any big enough storage other than tape).
