Description Ted Marshall 2011-01-25 21:18:40 UTC 
On 1.18.2 (running on "Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4smp #1 SMP Sat May 20 20:16:24 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux"), running "make menuconfig", entering "Networking Utilities" and changing value of "ndb-client" (or any other value) causes an immediate SEGFAULT.

"make config" seems to work.

To Reproduce:

$ make defconfig
$ make menuconfig
Select "Networking Utilities" and press ENTER
Cursor is on "ndb-client", press "n".

I have now also tried 1.18.1 and 1.17.4 and these also give the same fault.  I am now assuming that this is a problem with my system, somehow.  Someone please try this and, assuming that you do not see the problem, close this ticket.
Comment 2 Ted Marshall 2011-01-26 00:11:57 UTC 
Fixed the problem by editing Makefile and changing HOSTCFLAGS from "-O2" to "-O0".  Chalking this up to a bug in the old gcc I'm running.

Sorry to bother everyone.
