I've been running the pathalias version 9 as modified for SCO Xenix for
months now, and all of a sudden (possibly with the advent of a new map
file?) it core dumps when it is most of the way through a processing
run (it takes about twenty minutes to run when it used to work, and it
dies now after about fifteen minutes) with the message:

(): Segmentation violation

I rebuilt pathalias with -DDEBUG and the error occurred and the message
was:

(): IOT trap

Is anyone else having this problem suddenly? Does anyone know what those
empty parenthesis signify?
Any help appreciated!
