Hi Oleg! Does this include when it is given no input, as in: # adduser adduser: I need a name to add. # If so, then it will be easier for people to test it without actually adding users. Anyhow, I have an all hamm system (up to date against my mirror as of 24 hours ago, giving me adduser version 3.8) and in response to your query I ran "adduser <new_user_name>", answered the questions, and it worked. adduser is a perl script, and bug#17393 reports perl segfaulting and dumping core on a simple script. Whereas Vitaly Belostotsky provided a four line script which does this consistently, I have a couple hundred line script which does this much more sporadically and is highly dependent on its input data (and is even sensitive to print statements that I added for debugging purposes). Since adduser reads system information, it could be that the data it gets from your system is just right to trigger this bug. I bumped the severity of bug#17393 up to important yesterday.
