Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
I was able to reproduce this issue by attempting to run recode 3.6-23 on a very long file name on Ubuntu Cosmic. I also found what I believe to be a corresponding Debian bug report, so I have attached a bug watch. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #754945 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754945 ** Also affects: recode (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754945 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: recode (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: cosmic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to recode in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1785336 Title: recode dumps core if filename >= 200 characters Status in recode package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in recode package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: If a filename has 200 or more characters, recode aborts, dumping core.
