9159.0. "Xjoin dies w/segmentation fault?" by CSC32::A_LICAUSE () Thu Mar 13 1997 08:32

    
    V4.0 DUNIX system.  Xjoin is dying with a Segmentation fault.
    
    Any clues as to why?

9159.1Xjoin doesn't like comments on 1st line of bootptabCSC32::A_LICAUSEThu Mar 13 1997 10:3312
    
    It appears that xjoin cannot tolerate any comment lines, or at least
    any in the beginning of bootptab.
    
    when I removed all leading "#"s, xjoin now runs, but core dumps if it
    finds a # sign in the 1st line.  I can place comments anywhere else,
    but not in the 1st line.
    
    Feature or bug?

I have a bootptab file with comments at the top and xjoin does not
have a problem with this.

Please post a bootptab file in this thread which will cause xjoin
to die.

9159.4Seems to be only V4.0 and not 4.0a/bCSC32::A_LICAUSEMon Mar 17 1997 13:4233
    I am running V4.0 Rev 386 DUNIX.  If I put a single or more comments
    characters in bootptab, at the beginning, then xjoin will core dump.
    
    Others that are running V4.0A or V4.0b don't seem to see this problem:
