Description Ben Levenson 2002-03-08 02:30:25 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Tab completion causes a segmentation fault during interactive restores.
  # RMT=/sbin/rmt RSH=rsh restore -i -f root@i386-72:/tmp/dump-test
  Connection to i386-72 established.
  restore > ext<TAB> Segmentation fault

This works properly on i386.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dump-0.4b22-6.ia64.rpm
rmt-0.4b22-6.ia64.rpm

How Reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see 'description of problem'

Actual Results:
segmentation fault

Expected Results:
tab-completion should have expanded to the command 'extract'

Additional Information:
the seg fault occurs when trying to expand commands and directory names
within a dump volume. 
WORKAROUND: everything is restored properly as long as the commands
and directory names are typed manually.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2002-03-08 06:25:33 UTC 
I'd suspect libreadline myself ... shooting from the hip...

This version of dump is ancient though.  Does it do this in the latest
erratum?
Comment 3 Ben Levenson 2002-03-11 17:30:56 UTC 
I discovered the bug while testing the erratum packages.
Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2002-07-30 01:55:00 UTC 
Deferring for future investigation.
Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2002-11-03 06:48:31 UTC 
Does this still occur in the latest stable release, or in our current
developmental release?
Comment 6 Ben Levenson 2002-11-23 00:41:16 UTC 
I just verified that dump-0.4b28-4 fixes this problem.
Comment 7 Mike A. Harris 2002-11-23 03:59:07 UTC 
Closing as CURRENTRELEASE
