Mailing List Archive: spfcheck segmentation fault

I'm new to the list so forgive me if this topic has
already been discussed. I've searched this list's
archive but found nothing, which is suspicious for
a problem that's so well-known.

The problem is running spfquery on an AMD X86_64
processor. When I download libspf2-1.2.5 and compile
it, I see this:

#spfquery -ip 58.9.77.1 -sender wadak@pacifier.com
Segmentation fault

I don't see this on Intel and 32-bit AMD processors.

A Google search shows numerous complaints about this
back in 2006 and I see patches for the problem. I'm
wondering why the problem hasn't been fixed in the
current software -a year later.

Because we had a problem with a disappearing maintainer. We're working on
getting that straight now. These sorts of problems seem to be pretty well
absent in the current Debian Unstable packages, so you might have a look at
their patches (those plus a few more are what I notionally have in mind for a
1.2.6).
