>Description:

Using Excite's free search engine (architext) under the linux
emulation system, whenever one of the binaries (architextIndex
or architextSearch) exits with an error, it also dumps core.
One possible error condition for the searcher is "term not found".
So, people are querying our search engine all day long and the
logs fill up with spurious "Segmentation violation" and
"architextSearch exited on signal 11" messages.  There is no
other impact other than an annoying extraneous message.

Oddly enough, i downloaded the BSDI package and it does the exact
same thing!  Succesful completion is ok, error exits dump core.

BTW, i apologize if this is in the wrong category.  I'm not sure
if the linux emulator is kernel or ports...
>How-To-Repeat:

Download the excite package from ftp.excite.com:/ews/1.1p1/linux
and try it out.

>Fix:
	
i don't know enough about the linux emulator to fix it.
