Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2009-09-20 17:11:06 UTC
Description of problem:
modulecmd aborts with segmentation fault if run directly without parameters. I know that this is not the intended usage, but it still shouldn't segfault. In this case, the code is calling strcmp on a NULL pointer.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
environment-modules-3.2.6-7.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run /usr/bin/modulecmd without parameters
  
Actual results:
$ gdb /usr/bin/modulecmd
GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (6.8.50.20090302-38.fc11)
...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/modulecmd 
init.c(294):ERROR:11: Usage is '/usr/bin/modulecmd shellname'

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000411c7e in OutputExit () at utility.c:3007
3007		if( !strcmp( shell_derelict, "csh")) {
(gdb) bt
#0  0x0000000000411c7e in OutputExit () at utility.c:3007
#1  0x0000000000414cb6 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe298, environ=<value optimized out>) at main.c:358
(gdb) disp shell_derelict 
1: shell_derelict = 0x0

Expected results:
It should just exit with an error message without segfaulting.
