[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#737375: bootlogd: Segfaults during boot on Hurd booting using sysvinit

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: bootlogd
Version: 2.88dsf-46
User: debian-hurd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd

When booting hurd after installing the experimental version of sysvinit
and running "update-alternatives --config runsystem" to enable sysvinit
on Hurd, I noticed a segfault in the early boot.  Investigating further,
I found the cause - bootlogd.  This is the crash when running the same
command after boot within gdb:


(gdb) run -c -l /run/bootlog
Starting program: /sbin/bootlogd -c -l /run/bootlog
[New Thread 932.5]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
