Hi, I get a strange error message when starting xtraceroute 0.9.2
--- diode@sk | 0 | /usr/local/share/xtraceroute | $ xtraceroute [email protected] calltrace DEBUG: spinner_ref: "traceroute" count: 0 -> 1 /usr/sbin/traceroute is there and looks OK. /usr/bin/host is there and looks OK. /usr/local/share/xtraceroute/xtraceroute-resolve-location.sh is there and looks OK.

Is there a workaround or bugfix? Regards, Stefan
