gdnc crash weirdness

[Andreas Höschler]

Hello all,

we are running a CAM application on GNUstep debian. If the application 
dies, it is automatically restarted. We are copying away a generated 
core  file before doing so. Examing a problem we discovered that gdnc 
dies very regularily. Examining the core file in gdb shows the 
following:

M28:~# gdb /opt/GNUstep/System/Tools/gdnc 
/home/fahrer/LKWSegs/1180065301.core
Core was generated by `/opt/GNUstep/System/Tools/gdnc --daemon'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Any idea what this is all about? Is this a known issue? The GNUstep 
versions on these machines are already a few months old. May be this 
has been fixed inthe meanwhile.

Thnaks a lot!
