I was able to reproduce this error on centos 6.5, when having a >24 MB /etc/sysconfig/nfs configuration file, any tool using augeas-libs just broke with segmentation fault.
Using augeas-libs-1.0.0-5.el6_5.1.x86_64 Fixed just trimming down the faulty configuration file as a workaround. Reproduced easily just appending data into the file until it's big enough (17 MB was enough for me). It does not matter if you add real configuration entries or just comments. This is what I used to test it: for i in $(seq 1000000); do echo "#WHATEVER=NOTHIG" >> /etc/sysconfig/nfs; done After that running augtool: # augtool Segmentation fault With gdb: # gdb augtool GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (7.2-60.el6_4.1) Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
