I tried to compile and use multivol today. It compiled without incident,
but it and testdata dump core during 'make wfile'. My debugger is hosed,
and refuses to print a stack trace, so I started looking through the code.
In testdata.c, I found:
...
if (no_eoln = (*argv[1] == '-' && *++argv[1] == 'n')) {
...
Now, since C doesn't guarantee order of evaluation, this seems blatently
wrong. I don't know neccessarily that this is the cause of my problem,
but if the rest of the code has errors like this, I don't want to bother
trying to find the cause of the core dumps. Mission: Impossible :-), and
I refuse to accept it.
Is there an alternative to (or more recent version of) multivol?
