I am getting segfaults trying to use MandrakeUpdate-7.2-18mdk. Here is the stack trace. It's not much but that's because there are no debugging symbols in the binary. I understand why of course. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x404b439f in free () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) where #0 0x404b439f in free () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x404b40b4 in free () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x4034cd69 in __os_free () from /usr/lib/librpm.so.0 Is a pointer being doubly freed, or freed before being malloced perhaps? b. -- Brian J.
