Hi there,
I've just downloaded avast! 4 for linux and received demo key, but it seems that I also have some problems with segfaults.
Without running the avastupdate.pl script on-demand scanner fails with segmentation fault when trying to scan a file. If I do not try to scan something, it works (prints help)
After that I executed the update script and scanner fails again
Tryed to execute avastvpspreload by hand, it segfaults too.
All this is on Fedora Core 2 with 2.6.8 kernel.
gdb dump if it will be of help:
[root@avalon viruses]# gdb avast
