Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12p-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi!

I am trying to run cfdisk here but I am getting segmentation fault.

# cfdisk
Segmentation fault

# cfdisk /dev/hdc
Segmentation fault

# cfdisk -P r /dev/hdc
Segmentation fault

"cfdisk --help" and "cfdisk -v" works OK however.

GDB output doesn't help:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /sbin/cfdisk
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000000 in ?? ()

I don't know what could be causing this...

Thanks
Nelson
