Comment 3 Nick Clifton 2005-04-25 14:26:25 UTC 
Hi  Pawe³,

  The seg fault was caused by a silly fault in the name_list handling code
inside the copy_archive() function.  The 'obfd' field was not being initialised
to a proper value.  The attached patch fixes this problem and allows your test
case to run, although it still generates the "Invalid operation" message.

Do you have any problems with this patch or shall I close this PR ?

Cheers
  Nick
