The L command is documented as broken and to be removed in a future
release. It is not Posix.
No GNU (or other, as far as that goes) program should crash, regardless.
If the fix is to remove L, fine, but the bug should not be ignored.
(I reproduced it just as reported, BTW.)
Jose, are you there? I know you're on the list, but maybe you're
filtering your mail, so will explicitly cc you :).
best,
