Hi Charlie, Dying with exit(EXIT_FAILURE) would be fine. In the attached testcase however, ncbo segfaults because of a null dereference. Here is the backtrace when the crash is happening:
#0 0xb7a37ad6 in ?? () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #1 0xb7f9ed20 in nco_fl_mk_lcl () from /home/apr/tmp/crap/ncbo-report/crash/libs/libnco-4.0.9.so #2 0x0804a547 in ??
