Hi! Sometimes I get a segmenatation fault while restoring a backup. The debugger told me, it happens in hduplib.c:851 globfree(&globbuf); I found the reason in the source hduprestore.c:135 archivename =3D (char*) malloc(strlen(directory) + h + 12 + 8 + 15 +40)= ; At this point the content of directory is random. Because of that the result of "strlen(directory)" can be 0 as good as a very big value. The easiest solution is: archivename =3D (char*) malloc((p + h + 11 + 5) + h + 12 + 8 + 15 +40); The same problem appears in line 137 with matchname. Greetings from Osnabr=C3=BCck, Frank Behrendt
