[bt-devel] Segmentation Fault

[Daniel Glassey]

Hi,
What is the version of the sword library in ubuntu universe (libsword4)? 
If it is older than 1.5.7-3 then it is likely to have the problem that 
was fixed in that version

sword (1.5.7-3) unstable; urgency=low

!!!  * src/utilfuns/utilstr.cpp - toupperstr *buf++ fix
       caused segfaults when compiled with -O2
   * fix to build with gcc 3.4
       include/multimapwdef.h, Closes: #258768
   * build the diatheke package again, it is still there just in a
       different place, Closes: #229444
   * fix documentation about modules,
       README.Debian, Closes: #249020

Regards,
Daniel

P.S. That reminds me - that change also needs to go into the sword src rpms.
