Naviant
>Environment:
FreeBSD tinker.thecrossroadsschool.com 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Mon Oct 29 19:49:52 EST 2001 root@tinker.thecrossroadsschool.com: /usr/src/sys/compile/TINKERBELL  i386
>Description:
In the binary distribution install one of the libraries used causes it to seg fault on free(). We reproduced this on a new pIII 500 box and on an old P166. I did not ID the faulty library.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the binary from the 4.4-RELEASE CD1.
enter the command:
tink$ groff

and you get a segmentation fault
>Fix:
Install the src tree for base,contrib,include, and groff (I just used /stand/sysinstall and the CD)

cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/
make
make install
FIXED !
