Package: backuppc
Severity: important

When running

    /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f <client>

on our backup server process dies with signal 11 (segmenation fault)
after some time. This is 100% reproducable for some clients but
has not happened for others. On the client system we use mostly
for testing, the problem appears in a maildir directory with about
5000 files. The last lines of the log:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

When looking at the core it looks like that:

(gdb) backtrace
#0  0xb7e61203 in strlen () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1  0x080cbe90 in Perl_newSVpv ()
#2  0xb7d47015 in XS_File__RsyncP__FileList_get () from

#4  0x080bd469 in Perl_runops_standard ()
#5  0x0806520b in perl_run ()
#6  0x0805ffcd in main ()

Unluckily that was not helpful for me.

We tried to solve the problem by updating backuppc (Debian
testing newest version) and the File::RsyncP module (directly
from CPAN). That didn't changed the behavior. We also played
around with the rsync options (using -D instead of --devices
now). Also no change.  We exchanged the rsync version on the
client going from 2.6.8 back to 2.6.4. No change.

Presently we use a Debian/testing with:
 backuppc                                    2.1.2-5 
 perl                                        5.8.8-4
 ibc6                                        2.3.6-7
 File::RsyncP               0.64 (CPAN - not Debian)
 Kernel                                      2.6.15-1-686
