There is a bug in `Amaya/batch/grammar.c' on lines 870 and 871. These lines read as follows: 869 /* cree le fichier .LST */ 870 listFile = fopen (fileName, "w"); 871 fprintf (listFile, "GRAMMAR OF FILE "); 872 i = 0; 873 while (fileName[i] != '.') 874 putc (fileName[i++], listFile); The return value from `fopen()' is not checked for failure. If the user doesn't have permission to write the to list file, `fopen()' will fail (returning null). On my system (LINUX-ELF), the call to `fprintf()' on line 871 doesn't produce a segfault for some reason, but the segfault does occur on line 874 -- when `putc()' is called. The return values for `fopen' and `malloc' should *always* be checked for possible failure. I discovered this problem when trying to compile Amaya as a different user from the user that checked out the working directory. Another (related) problem, is that, even if you build Amaya in a directory that is different from the working directory, the build process wants to write into the working directory anyway. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
