Just another data point. I'm running on an Amiga and see a similiar
problem. When I try to do a:

	cd /etc
	file inetd.conf

I get a "Segmentation fault". A ktrace shows:

	...
	      daytime         stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
	      time            stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
	      echo            dgram   udp"
	1753 file     RET   read 1024/0x400
	1753 file     PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
	1753 file     NAMI  "file.core"

Hope this helps,
