Hi,

we have a report on dmraid segfaulting with a Intel S5000VSA Board.
The segfault seems only to happen when given with the raid set
argument:
dmraid -r -vvv -d
or
dmraid -s -ccc -d
works, but
dmraid -s -ccc -d ddf1_4c534920202020201000005500000000330adc0c00000a28
segfaults.

I acquired a core file (I do not have the hardware to test this), showing
the following backtrace:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x00002b66ceac7a00 in main_arena () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1  0x000000000040b592 in group_set (lc=0x628010, 
    name=0x7fffdc96288f "ddf1_4c534920202020201000005500000000330adc0c00000a28") at metadata/metadata.c:657
#2  0x00000000004049bf in build_sets (lc=0x628010, sets=<value optimized out>)
    at toollib.c:69
#3  0x0000000000404041 in perform (lc=0x628010, argv=0x7fffdc960f48)
    at commands.c:648
#4  0x0000000000403b23 in main (argc=<value optimized out>, 
    argv=0x7fffdc960f48) at dmraid.c:34

This seems bogus, because main_arena is a symbol from libc
(not even a function AFAIK).
In the last reasonable frame I get the following info:

(gdb) frame 1
#1  0x000000000040b592 in group_set (lc=0x628010, 
    name=0x7fffdc96288f "ddf1_4c534920202020201000005500000000330adc0c00000a28") at metadata/metadata.c:657
657             return rd->fmt->group(lc, rd);
(gdb) info locals 
rd = (struct raid_dev *) 0x2b66ceac79c0
rs = (struct raid_set *) 0x628540
(gdb) p *rs
$5 = {list = {next = 0x6377c0, prev = 0x2b6600736b73}, sets = {next = 0x20, 
    prev = 0x1011}, devs = {next = 0x732f007366737973, 
    prev = 0x7366737973007379}, total_devs = 7827968, found_devs = 3153968, 
  name = 0x30203000777200 <Address 0x30203000777200 out of bounds>, 
  stride = 0, type = 0, flags = 0, status = 0}

Currently, I am getting out of clue, what's going on here.
Possibly this issue might also be related to
