Public bug reported: I had cause to execute the init script /etc/init.d/urandom at the console and discovered that it reported a segfault while both starting and stopping. The following script reproduces the problem consistently:
#!/bin/sh FILE=/tmp/key if ! [ -f $FILE ] ; then echo "creating $FILE" touch $FILE fi dd if=/dev/urandom of=$FILE count=1 rm $FILE #end Output: creating /tmp/key 1+0 records in 1+0 records out /home/alexp/bin/crypt: line 7: 11150 Segmentation fault dd if=/dev/urandom of=$FILE count=1 ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- dd segfaults https://launchpad.net/bugs/64271 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
