The best thing I can think of to try is to look at /var/tmp/tmp.2.YhppeF and see what line 7 actually tries to do, so that we can narrow down what command is causing the segfault. If that doesn't still exist, try another install, and note the name of the file (it's actually a temporary script) and the line number where the fault occurs--it's probably line 7. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
