[Pkg-aide-maintainers] Bug#378381: aide coredumps on --update from cron job

[Philippe Marzouk]

Package: aide
Version: 0.11a-4
Severity: important


aide segfaults during the execution of the daily cron job.

aideinit works correctly and generates a database.
While --update is running, after something like 40 minutes running on the box (a Via Epia M10000 with a Via C3 Nehemiah 1ghz CPU), I 
get a segfault.

I recompiled aide without stripping and here is the backtrace I get:

Core was generated by `/usr/bin/aide --config /var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated --update'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

1095        localignorelist=(node->new_data->attr^node->old_data->attr);
(gdb) bt

I can give you more info as needed.
