I just put the (rather outdated) copyover patch into a bpl15 MUD which is patched up with a significant number of other patches already (the main patch concerned here is probably dg/oasis). Anyways here is the relevent bit of code (the file is db.c, the function is index_boot)... while (*buf1 != '$') { sprintf(buf2, "%s%s", prefix, buf1); if (!(db_file = fopen(buf2, "r"))) { /* <---- this is the line causing the problem */ log("SYSERR: %s: %s", buf2, strerror(errno)); exit(1); } When I load the core dump into gdb it shows the following... This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux"... Core was generated by `bin/circle -q 2345'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. Reading symbols from /lib/libcrypt.so.1...done. Reading symbols from /lib/libc.so.6...done.
