Bug 210873

Description of problem:
When starting the bearerbox in kannel on FC5, x86_64, it immediately crashes
with a segmentation fault. It does not matter if it is started with or without a
configuration file. 

I should probably note that the config file I use works fine on FC5, i386 using
the same hardware and rpm version (GSM modem connected to serial port).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q kannel
kannel-1.4.0-8.fc5

How reproducible:
Always happens.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create kannel config file (default one is fine)
2. Start up the bearerbox with the config file, e.g. bearerbox -v 0 /etc/kannel.conf
  

Actual results:

Here is the output from the bearerbox command:

# bearerbox -v 0 /etc/kannel.conf

2006-10-16 15:21:44 [22229] [0] INFO: Debug_lvl = 0, log_file = <none>, log_lvl = 0

Segmentation fault


When starting bearerbox with a deliberately broken config file, I get the following:

# bearerbox -v 0 /etc/kannel.conf

Expected results:

This is the same config/hardware setup on an i386:
# bearerbox -v 0 /etc/kannel.conf

Additional info:
This seems to be a known problem amongst the Kannel developers (just did a quick
google ;-) ); there are, however, some CVS RPM-workarounds floating around.
