gnatsd: Segmentation fault (closes telnet connection)

gnatsd: Segmentation fault (closes telnet connection)

[Michael Breen]

Regarding my message on the 10th,
the telnet connection is being closed because 
gnatsd crashes immediately whenever it's run:

$ telnet localhost 1529
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$

$ /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
Segmentation fault
$

This happens for user gnats and for root.
(I suppose I didn't try this before because, e.g.,
query-pr seems to work OK and I assumed it was
something to with xinetd config or the like.)

GNATS version 4.0, Fedora Core 1, 2.6.5 kernel

I saw no errors in compiling or installing GNATS 
and I used the default options.

Has anyone any ideas?
Regards,
Michael

Can you run an strace of gnatsd?

  shell$ strace /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gnatsd.strace

If that doesn't give you any hints, perhaps, try compiling gnatsd with
debugging symbols.  ("-g -Wall" in the CFLAGS environment variable),
then step through the application with gdb.

  shell$ CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local ...

If you don't know how to use gdb, make a tarball of the core file and
your configuration files.  Post the URL for the tarball to the list or
send the tarball to my email address.  Please don't send large
attachments to the list if you can help it. ;-)
