[Gambas-user] Bug: Shell command gives segmentaion fault

[Alan Huseby]

I've had this problem for a couple of releases of Gambas ago, I figured it
was just a problem with my code, but I finally decided to try and track it
down.  If I try to run the shell command even by itself in a new program
where it's the only line of code, it still segfaults.  My app is console
based, currently running on LinuxMandrake 10, also tested on RedHat 7.3,
Mandrake 9, 9.1, and 9.2 with same problems.  AMD XP-1800+, 512MB RAM

In a new blank application the following causes the segfault for me:

shell "lynx -source > test.txt" wait

The program does run and functions normally.

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/gbx -p
My test program
Detaching after fork from child process 10305.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Any help would be appreciated.
