Hi,
In copyin.c line 1269 is the code:
swab_array ((char *) &short_hdr, 13);
I get a segfault shortly after that - I'm fairly sure that & shouldn't
be there - it's byteswapping the pointer rather than the data.
I've filed an Ubuntu bug against this as well since that is where
I originally found it, but looking at the code it is in the plain
GNU source, there is a binary file attached to this bug that
triggers the seg:
Ubuntu bug is here:
