It's a bit of a quandary. Having auto-configuration as an opt-in option sort of misses the point.
Which is why I'd like to fix the problem. In any case, any configuration that causes a segfault should be unacceptable to us. --disable-zero for ./configure when compiling. Paul Alfille P.S. Can you tell me your configuration that causes the segfault? Debian version, and avahi/bonjour settings. That will give a platform to find the error.
