Hi,

I don't have a solution to this, but a "workaround".
On startup lcrash tries to read files for the embedded sial-interpreter.
By default such files are searched under /usr/share/sial/lcrash/.
One such file is ps.sial providing a new command for lcrash.
While reading this file the error occurs.

Just remove this file and the file 'scripts/ps.sial' in the lcrash
directory to avoid
automatical loading of the file on startup and installation of ps.sial when
calling 'make install', respectively.

Of course, when using the workaround, you are not able to use the
functionality provided by libsial.
So, a real bug fix has to be found yet.

PS: The error occurs not only on S390, I've also seen the error on intel
platform. If  I found time I'll go
deeper into this.

Regards,

Andreas

Hi,

     I'm  testing lcrash in Linux/390 (Suse 2.2.16) for processing dump.
After compiler the lkcdutils,
 i created an dump (using Linux/390 standalone dump) and lcrash show
following msg:

              input buffer overflow, can't enlarge buffer because scanner
uses REJECT

     Could you explain this message and possible solution ?

                 TIA.
                                             Evandro Vargas
