Bug report: poldek segfaults while reading sources

[Petter Urkedal]

A get a consistent segmentation fault when poldek 0.18.1 is reading
from one of my repositories.  My system is

    Linux ns2.nordita.dk 2.4.20-24.9smp #1 SMP Mon Dec 1 11:25:17 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The contents of poldek.conf is

    source = updates /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.updates-i386
    source = updates /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.updates-i586
    source = updates /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.updates-i686
    source = updates /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.updates-athlon
    source = updates /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.updates-noarch
    source = local /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.local
    source = shipped /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.cd1
    source = shipped /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.cd2
    source = shipped /data/common/redhat/9/RPMS.cd3

Some of the sources are symbolic links, but the ones that fail (-n shipped)
are not.  NFS/local also does not matter.  The sources were created with

    poldek -s /data/common/redhat/9/PRMS.cd1 --mkidxz

etc. using the same version of poldek.  Here is a GDB backtrace:

Another thing.  I checked out the latest sources from CVS, but when
running ./autogen.sh, aclocal is run with '-I m4', but there is no
subdirectory called m4.  Is there another checkout I have to do,
which is not mentioned on you web page?

Sincerely,
