jwhois trace dumps when configuration can't be foundHave you ever gotten an invalid pointer message from jwhois? I have. I have just compiled jwhois, a free GNU WHOIS command-line client. As soon as I run it with a query, I got the following error message with full trace dump: *** glibc detected *** jwhois: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xbf88a083 *** At first, I had thought that maybe I compiled it incorrectly and linked it to the wrong library. But it took me a while to figure out that it dumped core because it couldn't find the configuration file, which defaults to "/usr/local/etc/jwhois.conf". Surprising that the developer didn't check for the non-existence of the configuration file and output a friendly error message. Nevertheless, specifying the configuration file on the command-line finally did the trick. Chieh Cheng
