Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Additional info:

(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/sbin/tcpdump

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

#4  0x0804a976 in strcpy ()
#5  0x420174d9 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

Probably this is a glibc bug. But tcpdump is the only program triggering it on
my system.
