RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Additional info:
Occurs on multiple systems running ipmitool-1.8.15-1.el6.x86_64 (RHEL 6.8 2.6.32-621.el6.x86_64).  Can not reproduce on ipmitool-1.8.13-8.el7_1.x86_64 (RHEL 7.2 3.10.0-326.el7.x86_64)
Comment 2 Boris Ranto 2016-03-08 12:27:12 UTC 
I think I can see where the problem lies. It was introduced by a code cleanup in lib/ipmi_kontronoem.c that went into 1.8.15 and it is actually a regression. I'll send a patch upstream. In the mean-time could you re-test with the following build to see if it fixed your problem:

Comment 4 Boris Ranto 2016-03-08 13:44:13 UTC 
The patch for this is already upstream, we need to back-port 12eeca602c104980cd36d89fa5b25ebd56b3c574 to fix this.
Comment 5 Rachel Sibley 2016-03-08 15:22:30 UTC 
Looks like this is resolved using your build, no longer seeing segmentation fault and usage message is displayed.
