Hi, The info posted to get man to seg fault is slightly incorrect. You need to supply some text as the name of a man page - otherwise man will reject all input. The number of :'s is irrelevat too - one is enough. man -S : blah will cause a seg fault. This has been confirmed on debian 2.2 woody, and I submitted a patch to fix it. The new version is in unstable - ver 2.3.18-2. From the changelog of 2.3.18-2: * man would segfault if the argument to -S contained only colons, and incidentally treated an empty argument to -S wrongly. Both cases now use the standard list of sections instead (thanks, Colin Phipps and Stephen Shirley; closes: #97553, #97566). Steve -- "My mom had Windows at work and it hurt her eyes real bad"
