I just put the (rather outdated) copyover patch into a bpl15 MUD which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.

I have been racking my brains over this for for some time now, any help
anyone can give me is greatly appreciated.
