Package: gksu
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: normal

Gksudo segfaults with any program I'm using:

foo@bar:~$ LC_ALL=3DC gksudo true
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Backtrace is fairly useless since it's a null pointer dereference:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00000000 in ?? ()

Note that it does execute the program and segfaults afterwards. Arch is
powerpc.

Cheers,
 -- Guido
