Just for the records: I can reproduce the problem using unstable.
Thanks. For the record, it appears to be the "-e" option that causes trouble - it is expecting an argument, and if no further argument exists then there is a segfault.
Recompiling the texlive-binaries package does not solve the problem. Then I download the detex package from http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/trinkle/detex/ (it is not on CTAN AFAICT), but failed to compile it hille@sid:~/detex-2.8 $ make sed -f states.sed detex.l > xxx.l lex xxx.l rm -f xxx.l mv lex.yy.c detex.c cc -O -c -o detex.o detex.c xxx.l:77:7: error: conflicting types for ?malloc?
The latest version downloaded from source does not have this bug. What version is in texlive-binaries?
To get the compile to work, remove the line "char *malloc();" from detex.l. The return type char* conflicts with the Linux malloc return type of void*.
