Looks like the stack is corrupt.  If you can't reproduce this, let me know and 
I can try running under a debugger or something to get more information.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2003-05-19 00:21:13 UTC

Exactly which n-v-r of chkconfig?

Comment 2 Jonathan Kamens 2003-05-19 00:26:14 UTC

Alas, I've updated since then so I'm not certain.  It was a version that I
installed, probably from Raw Hide, on February 2, so if I had to guess, I'd say
1.3.8-1.

Now, with 1.3.8-2, I get something different (but no more useful):

$ sudo chkconfig --list
... various lines ...
dhcrelay        0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
error reading from directory /etc/init.d: No such file or directory$ 

Note that there's no newline at the end of the output -- the dollar sign at the
end of the last line is the shell prompt.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2003-05-19 03:34:17 UTC

Do you have any subdirectories (or other nonstandard FS structures) in
/etc/init.d or /etc/xinetd.d?

Comment 4 Jonathan Kamens 2003-05-19 13:15:32 UTC

I have RCS subdirectories in both /etc/init.d and /etc/xinetd.d (I RCS config 
files which I modify).  Surely chkconfig should be able to handle this case....

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2003-10-22 20:53:07 UTC

Hm, I'm trying this here and it's working for me. Can you tar up your
/etc/xinetd.d/ directory?

Comment 6 Jonathan Kamens 2003-10-23 17:01:13 UTC

I can't duplicate it any longer with chkconfig-1.3.8-4.
