With certain tw.config files tripwire produces a segmentation fault message. This happens right after phase 3 has started. It will produce the same result with -initialize, -update, and without arguments. I've briefly looked into the src.rpm code, but only to realize that it is probably a leaky pointer *somewhere*. This, unfortunately, means that tripwire is not working correctly, and thus renders it unreliable. (I can produce the fault at will with one system/config, if anybody cares to look further into this).
Try using the tripwire located in ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/rawhide/powertools Please reopen this bug if you conltinue to have problems with tripwire. Tim
