When it is run, it dies on a SIGSEGV. Going through gdb a bit gave us the following: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. rpc_received (dom=0xefbfd538 "\025:\006\b\207\002", raddrp=0xefbfd528, force=0) at ypbind.c:773 773 switch(ypdb->dom_default) { (gdb) bt #0 rpc_received (dom=0xefbfd538 "\025:\006\b\207\002", raddrp=0xefbfd528, force=0) at ypbind.c:773 #1 0x20d1 in handle_children (ypdb=0xa080) at ypbind.c:537 #2 0x1f9d in main (argc=1, argv=0xefbfddc8) at ypbind.c:490 The first parameter to rpc_received seems like random noise, and doesn't match any entry in the ypbindlist, which appears to cause the actual crash. We were wondering if there was a known reason/fix for this, or what the best way to handle this problem would be. Thank you for your time. Stephan Szabo
