Control: tag -1 forwarded Hi Adrian,
I had a quick look into this, it seems related to the fact that brwiregauge,
plategauge etc. are units with discrete values, and the user is asking for
the inverse; but I’m not sure what the best way to fix this is.
fun->inverse.param ends up with nonsensical values:

Subject: Bug#1003708: units: Segmentation fault on certain conversions in
verbose mode
Package: units
Version: 2.21-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: wri...@owenh.net
Hi, the following commands result in a segmentation fault:
$ echo -e "cm\nbrwiregauge" | units -v
$ echo -e "cm\nplategauge" | units -v
This was discovered while attempting to use the script example in the
"SCRIPTING WITH UNITS" section of the units(1) man page.
Thank you for maintaining this useful tool.
Owen T. Heisler
