Subject: [mSQL] dbf2msql on Linux 2.0.12
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 1996 16:33:48 -0500 (EST)

I compiled dbf2msql-1.04 on Linux 2.0.12 and everything went fine. But
when I create a msql database "test" and do "dbf2msql mydata.dbf" it seg
faults and dumps core. To make matters worse, even though I compiled
with "-g3" it complains "no debugging symbols" in the object file. The
best I can get from gdb is this stacktrace:

(gdb) bt
#0 0x804907c in free ()
#1 0x804d6a8 in _fini ()
#2 0x804a062 in free ()
#3 0x8048eeb in free ()

In a fit of random action I took out all calls to free and recompiled. I
still got the same problem and the same stacktrace - which makes me
think the calls to free are coming from library functions which have
been passed a bad pointer themselves, or something equally subtle and
devious. But without debuggable code, my options are limited...

So has anyone used dbf2msql successfully on a Linux box? I'd be happy to
hear any suggestions because dbf2msql would make my life _so_ much
easier...

Thanks,
