Hi!

I just tried to install sn on my iBook (G3) running Debian (I wanted
to use the binary installed by "apt-get install sn"), but snnewgroup
segfaults when I try to create a group, so I recompiled sn with
debugging symbols and started it through gdb:

,----[ gdb running snnewgroup ]
| (gdb) set args gmane.network.sn news.gmane.org 119
| (gdb) run
| Starting program: /usr/sbin/snnewgroup gmane.network.sn news.gmane.org 119
| 
| Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
| 0x100015e8 in vachar (c=100, app=0x7ffffc08, tmp=0x7ffffbd8 "\017ü\202X\020\001@\b\177ÿü \017öžà\017è~à", len=0x7ffffc0c)
|     at format.c:59
| 59	      case 'd': i = va_arg(*app, int); p = istr(i, 10, tmp); break;
| (gdb)

If you need more information, tell me and describe me how to get
it. :) I don't get this error on my x86 box.
