Editor joe from joe-2.8-24 cannot be executed, it looks like strcpy bug. If no ~/.joerc is presented, the editor works. If edited file exists, joe starts and freezes. This was observed on a fresh installation with Czech locales and .joerc. -- $ joe non-existing-file Processing '.joerc'...Processing '.joerc'...Processing '/usr/lib/joe/joerc'...Segmentation fault -- End of strace output: open("/usr/lib/joe/joerc", O_RDONLY) = 6 write(2, "Processing \'/usr/lib/joe/joerc\'."..., 34) = 34 fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=17169, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40017000 read(6, "\n Initia"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "ro\t\tMacro to execute when new fi"..., 4096) = 4096 brk(0x807c000) = 0x807c000 brk(0x807d000) = 0x807d000 read(6, "\\i\n\\i \\i Hit TAB at file name pr"..., 4096) = 4096 brk(0x807e000) = 0x807e000 brk(0x807f000) = 0x807f000 brk(0x8080000) = 0x8080000 brk(0x8081000) = 0x8081000 --- SIGSEGV (Neopravnln} pxmstup do pamlti (SIGSEGV)) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ -- $ gdb joe core This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux"...

Can't reproduce with the one in Rawhide... and I know we have some fixes for memory issues there.
