Hi Greg,
I did see your last thread, that did help thanks.
Building the Alpha from Trunk, then applying the patch from...
http://forums.zmanda.com/showthread.php?3691-amrecover-segmentation-fault
...fixed the 'extract' error for me.
I got a stacktrace using Carp::longmess() at the point where $line is tainted
in amidxtaped.pl/readline() by checking with...
sub is_tainted { return ! eval { eval(# . substr(join(, @_), 0, 0)); 1 }; }
This is the stack when when the line is tainted...

Hi,
Look for an email from me in the archives, with subject, Re: Recovery Help
Request [RESOLVED], from April 13th, 2012.
For good measure, you might also want to look in the archives for a message
with subject, Re: amrecover failure [RESOLVED], on April 26th, 2012.
Both sets of emails, bugs, and fixes apply to 3.3.1 stable, which apparently
isn't all that stable. I sincerely hope they'll push out a 3.3.2, with the
patches applied for these known, show-stopper, bugs.
Best of luck.

I'm following the simple recovery example from the wiki...
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/GSWA/Recovering_Files
Worked though all the issues but now I'm at the 'extract' and I'm getting an
error...
amrecover - amidxtaped closed the connection
amrecover - can't talk to tape server: (null)
Further inspection of /var/log/messages gives...
amidxtaped[2784]: TypeError in method 'debug', argument 1 of type 'char *'
I've found someone had run into this issue before 'June 2011'...
http://archives.zmanda.com/amanda-archives/viewtopic.php?t=6929sid=f2141406dc79480edd30a1200443e9a6
They mentioned patching a Perl script but I haven't found the one they're
referring to.
Does anyone have instructions on how to fix or workaround this issue?
I'm using 3.3.1 built from source on an update to date Amazon Linux install.
