How does the long path tool help? It worked before on 15.04 (and before), but broke upgrading to 15.10... It shouldn't segfault!
env | grep MALLOC returns nothing nano --ignore works fine... `strace -o nano.txt nano --ignore` is http://p.defau.lt/?ggvjOCTok9EfbnKi_XNNBA My computer is a vm from Bytemark over on their bigv platform https://www.bigv.io/ - I don't think it needs to ask the network about its hostname... How would I even verify this?
