Thanks.  I am also having problems compiling, which is why I'm using the
pre-compiled binaries, but that's a whole other story.  I'll let the
upstream developers know about this.

That usually happens, if the program gives a null pointer argument
when calling the strftime.

You should recompile everything with -g option, run gdb ,
and type up after receiving the segfault.  You will go up one stack
frame and see at which source line this function is called.  Maybe you
will be able to fix that line.

strftime() produces segmentation fault

[Noel Yap]

Not strictly Debian, but I *am* a Debian user so

I am trying to ACeDB
.  However, both
the text and graphical programs (tace and xace, respectively) produce a
segmentation fault when trying to reinitialize the database.  gdb just
says:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x40085dde in strftime ()

I am running all the latest from unstable.  I suspect that there might
be a libc5/libc6 conflict somewhere, but have no idea how to resolve
it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Noel
