From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.30 i586) When using the date program with the -f option to convert many dates contained in a file it core dumps at the end of the file. If I use both -u and -f it does not. The problem seem to be in "free (initial_TZ);" of batch_convert because initial_TZ is not set if universal_time is not true. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. date >date.test 2. date -f date.test +%s Actual Results: The ouput is the number of sesonds followed by "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" Expected Results: It should not core dump. "date -u -f date.test +%s" works ok but requires the timezone to be specified. This is on date version: date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0 From RedHat 6.2: rpm=sh-utils-2.0-5 Redhat 7.0 is also based on the same gnu date 2.0 version so it could also be affected.
Fixed in the current version... date >date.test date -f data.test Tue Mar 6 15:48:26 CET 2001 date -f date.test +%s 983890106
