> I am trying to port a database

While we'd love to help everyone debug, write and design software,
unfortunately, there are too few of us and too many poeple that would
love the help.  Sorry.

A coworked or a friend would be best.  There could be a newsgroup that
handles this sort of thing, but I don't know which one would be best.

Database printing routine

[Robertson, David]

I am trying to port a database from an alpha server to a linux server
running on Intel.  After some effort I have managed to get the entire
application to compile and run.  That is except the print routine which
compiles without any errors but if you run it you get segmentation errors.
gdb reveals the following.

(gdb) next
1538              iptr->prev->next = NULL;                 /* terminate
*/
(gdb) p iptr->prev->next
Cannot access memory at address 0x4
(gdb) next

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x8063bd3 in cfgird (hndl=1, bptr=0xbfffe414, recno=3, lock=1) at
cfgmgt.c:1538
1538              iptr->prev->next = NULL;                  /* terminate
*/
(gdb)

I have played around with this for an age and can not get it to work any
help with this would be most welcome.
