[Aide] Problems running AIDE

[Eric Webster]

I will give those a shot, but I won't have a chance to until later this
evening or possibly tomorrow. Thank you for being so quick to respond to my
call for help though.

So, the problems arises when you do a compare between 2 databases on the
central system? That is a functionality that not many people are using,
this could explain why you are the first one to report this.

If you could give the CVS version a try (the last daily snapshot will
do), that would be great. A gdb backtrace should help in locating the
problem. Please do not use aide 0.10, it is known to cause segfaults in
various situations.

Since your problem is with --compare, you can send the 2 databases so I
can troubleshoot this locally on my system.

Sincerely,
