That's not good. However, I can't reproduce the problem on my Windows/Cygwin box
at work (using sqlite3 as I don't have sqlite 2.x installed). On your box refdbd
claims that ip_or_path is NULL, although it is an initialized stack variable. It
would take a pretty gross memory error to achieve this, but valgrind tells me
there is nothing wrong.

I'm afraid you'd have to look at refdbd with a debugger in order to see what's
wrong. Are you familiar with gdb? I'd set a breakpoint after the getopt loop
and check the values every couple of lines to see where the values get lost. If
this is above your head, I'll run these tests on the weekend on a Debian box,
provided I can reproduce the problem.

regards,
Markus
