Thank you for your quick response. Gentoo is all about getting the source and compiling things on my computer using gcc settings appropriate for my system (and so on... :-)), so here is the output: env DEBUG=yes VERBOSE=yes make check -C tests/shred TESTS=exact make: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/coreutils-5.94-r1/work/coreutils-5.94/tests/shred' make check-TESTS make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/coreutils-5.94-r1/work/coreutils-5.94/tests/shred' + shred --version shred (GNU coreutils) 5.94 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I have no real experience in programming in Linux, but I have installed gdb and tried to squeeze something out of it without any success. Could you instruct me how to trace this segfault?
