Try this: First make a little text file containing these three lines: $ cat sendcheck-input OPTIONS ; GNUTAR /gemini/disk4/sort 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;compress-fast;index; GNUTAR /gemini/disk3/age 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;index; $ Then execute selfcheck under the debugger: $ gdb /usr/local/libexec/selfcheck ...blabla... (gdb) And start the program handing the little file above on stdin. When it crashes, execute the 'where' command and send that output. (gdb) run < sendcheck-input ... Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. ... (gdb) where ... Here is the gdb output.  Does it matter to gbd that I compiled Amanda with IBM's C for AIX and not gcc? sbsdp|amanda: /home/amanda > gdb /usr/local/libexec/selfcheck GNU gdb 6.0 [snip] (gdb) run < /home/amanda/selfcheckoptions Starting program: /usr/local/libexec/selfcheck < /home/amanda/selfcheckoptions Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
