Bug#178590: libc6: mallopt() segfaults with gpasman
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-10
Severity: normal
gpasman 1.3.0 (not available anymore in debian, you can download it at
gpasman.nl.linux.org) seems to trigger some bug in glibc mallopt().
gdb backtrace (ulimit -c 65535):

gpasman (both 1.2.0 and 1.3.0) worked flawlessly under glibc 2.2.
The bug can be triggered by simply running the program and entering the
passphrase.
