Hi,

I just started ddd with a cmdline like "ddd foo" in a ssh session.
Because I did not really start ddd (type error) I pressed CTRL+C to
abort the process. DDD has only presented the about-window and died with
SIGSEGV.

I will also attach the log, ddd has written in ~/.ddd/log

Hello Andreas,

Way back in 2007 you reported an interesting bug in ddd in debian:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416288

Given that there have been a lot of upstream changes between 3.3.11 and 3.4.1, I
wonder if this issue happens to be resolved.

Version 3.4.1 is available in debian testing; would you be able to try it?

Cheers,
Eric
