Hi,

I'm not sure but this bug could be fixed in attr-2.4.31 (released on 22 February
2006):
- Fix segfault in attr_list compat routines, thanks to Simon Munton
<simon[AT]munton.demon.co.uk>.

Upstream version of attr is 2.4.32.

Comment 2 Russell Strong 2006-10-07 11:19:47 UTC
So why has this bug been allowed to persist?

Comment 3 Zdenek Prikryl 2007-07-25 11:48:57 UTC
*** Bug 200623 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 Zdenek Prikryl 2007-07-25 12:13:38 UTC
FC5 has now been EOL'd. In FC6 and F7 attr -l works fine.
