It is not required that you crosspost to every single newsgroup with the
word "linux" in it's name - a few select groups would have been less
unpleasant.  I've kept all of the ones on the local news spool because I
don't know which ou actually read.

Michel Dubois is of the opinion:

It doesn't work because it's performing an illegal memory access.  It is
caused by a bug is the program.

Upgrade, hassle the program's author or maintainer, or fix it yourself.
