The bug reporter has now clarified that the segfault is in fact
happening after all.

The running instance of Xprt that he thought he saw was from a chroot,
not the instance he was trying to print through.

I guess that makes the situation a bit more straightforward: there is a
segfault in Xprt on amd64 which needs to be addressed.

This was a misstake, the segfault is still occuring for me (and I
just reopened bug# 278510 again).

The problem is still that Xprt segfaults on start, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=278510 for a strace
and bt.

Has anyone Xprt up and running in 64-bit mode an amd64?
