[comp.unix.aux] Why is adduser core dumping on me?

gilbertd@cricket.bio.indiana.edu (Don Gilbert) (04/03/91)

For the last month or so, the Adduser script has been bombing when
I try to add users.  The culprit seems to be the /usr/lib/addusersub
routine, as indicated by these error lines:
  cricket.root 14 # adduser
  /etc/adduser[676]: 1127 Memory fault(coredump)

Line [676] of adduser points to x = `addusersub init`, and
  cricket.root 12 #  /usr/lib/addusersub init
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I've replaced the addusersub binary from my CD disk, to no avail.  This
problem showed up before and after the 2.0.1 upgrade.  

Any suggestions?
My thanks to those who helped with previous problems.
