Hi, Gilles: Thanks for your prompt response.
1. I have followed the FAQ 5.14 instruction to recompile htdig-3.2.0-1.b4.0.72 src RPM package with the HAVE_BROKEN_REGEX define to 1 and remove the htlib/regex.h, but the recompiled htdig -i -vvvvvv still gave me seg. fault. 2. I am going to try htdig-3.2.0b4-010602 src.tgz and see how it works. 3. I will create a core file with gdb output for your reference if the 2nd step still fails. Thank you.

The kernel is > 2.4.9-13 and htdig is htdig-3.2.0-1.b4.0.72, which I download it from RedHat > Linux. htdig-3.2.0-1.b4.0.72 is built from the Oct 21/2001 snapshot of 3.2.0b4, which is fairly recent code. It would appear likely you've run into a bug in the ExternalTransport.cc code, which is fairly new and not heavily tested. Two things may be useful in helping us narrow down the problem: 1) Try getting more verbose output, e.g. -vvvvvv, to see if we can get more details of what led to the segmentation fault. 2) It appears you didn't get a core dump, so try running htdig from gdb, and after it fails, get a backtrace using gdb's "bt" command. -- Gilles R.
