Bug#399842: libkpathsea4: segmentation fault on upgrade of tetex

[Frank Küster <frank@kuesterei.ch>]

reassign 399842 tetex-bin
thanks

Dear Émile,

please, *always* send a copy of your answers to the
399842@bugs.debian.org address.  I'm not the only maintainer of teTeX,
and maybe not the best one suited to debug this problem.

This is something completely different to your original report.  In the
original report, it segfaulted with each format it tried.  Now it fails
with a TeX error, not a segfault, in one particular format, cont-en.
Can you please send the file /var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.log?
