Bug#874727: closed by Anton Gladky <gladk at debian.org> (Bug#874727: fixed in coin3 3.1.4~abc9f50+dfsg2-1)

[markus]

Hi Christoph,

it's a packaging bug - libcoin is statically linked with libexpat, and
the version being used is outdated. So anything that uses libcoin and
libexpat will run into a segfault.

I am not aware of any other application that uses libcoin.

HTH,
Markus
