Segmentation fault
It seems that he shred itself is the culprit.
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?
You might try
$ gdb -x <( printf "run\nbt" ) --args src/shred --remove --zero adam adam1
and look at the stack trace, or
$ strace src/shred --remove --zero adam adam1
and look what shred does just before crashing.
Cheers,
Phil
