I am getting segmentation faults with perl-5.8.7nb4 on NetBSD/i386 2.0.2
when running html2ps.
This only happens when html2ps has an image. I have been using html2ps for
a few years. I had updated various perl related packages lately ... I
rebuilt all again today from scratch.
gdb shows this continuous loop:
#3701 0x48123e6b in S_regmatch ()
from /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-netbsd-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#3702 0x48124c81 in S_regmatch ()
from /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-netbsd-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so
I found a Debian bug report that seems similar:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=168871
I also see http://minaret.biz/tips/perl.html ("Perl 5.8.[5-7] Regular
Expression Bug ")
And also:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/perl/porters/196368
I will look at this further, but am posting this until I get a chance.
I also get a segmentation fault (signal 11) when html2ps is converting an
image:
