The following reply was made to PR bin/3778; it has been noted by GNATS.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Jin Guojun[ITG]
had to walk into mine and say:

I need more information:
- Exactly what FreeBSD release are you running.
- Exactly what arguments do you use when invoking ypbind.
- If possible, please try to do the following:
o Edit the Makefile for the new ypbind and add -g to the CFLAGS
options.
o Recompile ypbind (make clean; make)
o Try to use ypwhich to crash it again
o When it crashes, do:
% gdb -q ypbind /ypbind.core
(gdb) where
This result should be a stack trace indicating the line of code
where ypbind crashed. I would appreciate it if you could e-mail me the
stack trace; this will hopefully give me an idea where it is crashing
in the event that I can't reproduce the problem on my test machine.
(I tested ypwhich on my machine before committing the changes and
didn't have any trouble with it, but I might not have tested the right
case to trip the bug.)
