show and repl segfaulting: 1.2 source and 1.1fc6 rpm

[Stiffler]

Hello,

I have show and repl segfaulting for certain messages on a CentOS 5 i686 platform.  The problem occurs with both a 1.1 fc6 rpm and 1.2 compiled from source.

The necessary libraries seem to be present:
$ ldd /usr/bin/repl
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdb-4.3.so => /lib/libdb-4.3.so (0xf7e0b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7ccb000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7cb4000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f0b000)
ldd /usr/bin/show
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdb-4.3.so => /lib/libdb-4.3.so (0xf7ea2000)
        libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0xf7e9e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7d5e000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7d47000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7fa2000)

So I recompiled with --enable-debug and the problem has gone away.

Do I just leave it as it is?

I suspect your problem is this:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?22060

Try to rebuild by adding -fno-builtin-strcasecmp to your CFLAGS.

You may also want to try rebuilding the F8 rpm for your system, as it
contains a more modern CVS version of nmh (with numerous features and
fixes).

Thanks for the suggestion Josh.  The bug report is for a 64-bit architecture while I'm running this on a 32-bit platform. Nevertheless I recompiled anyway with -fno-builtin-strcasecmp added to CFLAGS in the Makefile, but the segfault came back.  Going back to  --enable-debug which so far seems to work.
