To apply the patch I sent, you need to patch the source and recompile, but it will not fix the problem.
amrecover crash because amidxtaped crashed first.
Fixing amrecover will not allow to recover your data, as amidxtaped will still crash.
If we fix amidxtaped, then you will not require the amrecover fix.

amidxtaped is a perl program and the source is already installed, it is a text file.
You can edit it with any text editor.

You can help by adding more debug statement in amidxtaped until you find on which line in crash.
You can easily add line like this:
   debug("This line is executed");

Hi.

How do I patch the file ?

Do I not need to have the source file    recover-src/extract_list.c ?

Sorry if im being an idiot ... - its amazingly hot here today (strange for the UK)

    You use a text editor to add debug statement:
      debug("This line is executed")d;

        Hi.

        Sorry how do I add extra debugging to amidxtaped?

        At the minute I use rpm's from zamanda

        I take it to use your patch I will need to compile from source
        (that is not a big issue as I regularly compile
        software/kernels, etc) ?

        Regards

               Sorry do you mean i've sent the wrong log ? Or you
        can't see
               why its failed..

               How can I help debug the issue further ?


           You sent the correct log, I can't see why it failled.
           You can help by adding more debug statement in amidxtaped until
           you find on which line in crash.

           I'm attaching a patch for the amrecover crash.

                      So Any help will be really welcomed..


                      Many regards


                  They show that the first crash is amidxtaped.
                  It is in a debug() call, but I didn't find which one.
