mc segfaulting NOT solved

[Leonard den Ottolander]

Hello Gilles,

> # gdb mc core.1234

 Aha. That's the way to load the symbols. Should have probably looked 
that up in the man page, but thanks.

 Yes. I didn't do a lot of testing, but I was quite surprised to see 
the segfaults back. By the way, they are now reproducible for user 
leonard again as well.

 Mine seem to be similar to the original posting (some slightly 
different, shorter):
#0  0x00ef7173 in strlen () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1  0x002c73e2 in Gpm_Open () from /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1
#2  0x08072dde in strcpy ()
#3  0x0807eefb in getch ()
#4  0x0806e959 in strcpy ()
...
#15 0x08071595 in strcpy ()
#16 0x00e95678 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

 I requested bug 100836 to be reopened, and just received this:

It sure solves the problem that I reported.  If you still have 
problems, please
file a new bug report describing how to duplicate it.

 Answered that I am still seeing the exact problem that he was(?) 
having.

Bye,
Leonard.
