Description Daniel Holbach 2006-01-08 10:43:20 UTC 
Forwarded from: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18097

gnome-nettool 1.4.1 segfaults when called from the commandline with wrong or
incomplete arguments. 

Works:
$ gnome-nettool -l www.aap.nl
$ gnome-nettool -p www.aap.nl
$ gnome-nettool --ping=www.aap.nl
$ gnome-nettool --ping=

The latter options pops up a window "a network address was not specified". Nice!

Segmentations fault occur with:
$ gnome-nettool -l
$ gnome-nettool -p
$ gnome-nettool --ping
$ gnome-nettool -help
$ gnome-nettool --random-string

This is not a catastrophic bug, but it's a bug.

I have already filed a comment on ubuntu (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+bug/24242)
where I mentioned that I suspect the problem to relate to my WLAN driver. 
Now I thought the following gdb output might be useful:

(gdb) run
