is there a way that you can strace it or something to give us something to go on other than "an application doesn't work" ?
Created attachment 102967 [details] Strace for fsavd with kernel 2.6.8-1.521 This is a trace of the fsavd process. Its child fails with a SIGSEGV. I opened a ticket with the vendor.
hmm unfortionately there is no hint at all in that strace about why that application decides to segfault... seems the only way is to stick a debugger (gdb) on it...
F-Secure told me to upgrade to the server version 4.61. That version of the application works. I don't know if they are going to support the workstation version 4.52 anymore. This item should be closed as it is an application problem and not a kernel issue.
