Hi there! I managed to let udev-131 segfault at startup. I configured it like this: CFLAGS="-Wall -ggdb" ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --exec-prefix= Running it in gdb shows it segfaults at udev-rules.c:831 (gdb) run Starting program: /tmp/udev-131/udev/udevd Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0804ea06 in get_key (udev=0x9175008, line=0xafcdc8f0, key=0xafcdc5d8, op=0xafcdc5d0, value=0xafcdc5d4) at udev-rules.c:831 831 dbg(udev, "%s '%s'-'%s'\n", operation_str[*op], *key, *value); Longer backtrace: bt full #0 0x0804ea06 in get_key (udev=0x807d008, line=0xafa7e690, key=0xafa7e378, op=0xafa7e370, value=0xafa7e374) at udev-rules.c:831 linepos = 0xafa7e6f0 "block" temp = 0xafa7e6f6 ", ENV{MAJOR}==\"254\", ENV{MINOR}==\"0\", SYMLINK+=\"root\"\n" #1 0x0804f02c in add_rule (rules=0x807d188, line=0xafa7e6e4 "SUBSYSTEM", filename=0x808c7f8 "/dev/.udev/rules.d/10-root-link.rules", filename_off=1, lineno=3) at udev-rules.c:1039 key = 0xafa7e6e4 "SUBSYSTEM" value = 0xafa7e6f0 "block" op = OP_MATCH valid = 0 linepos = 0xafa7e6e4 "SUBSYSTEM" attr = 0xa7dea6c0 "�8��" physdev = 0 rule_tmp = {rules = 0x807d188, rule = {{type = 1 '\001', rule = {type = 1 '\001', flags = 0 '\0', token_count = 0, label_off = 0, filename_off = 1, filename_line = 3}, key = {type = 1 '\001', flags = 0 '\0', op = 0 '\0', glob = 0 '\0', value_off = 0, {attr_off = 196609, ignore_error = 196609, i = 196609, rule_goto = 196609, mode = 196609, uid = 196609, gid = 196609, num_fake_part = 196609, devlink_prio = 196609, event_timeout = 196609}}}}, token = {{{type = 0 '\0', rule = {type = 0 '\0', flags = 0 '\0', token_count = 0, label_off = 0, filename_off = 0, filename_line = 0}, key = { type = 0 '\0', flags = 0 '\0', op = 0 '\0', glob = 0 '\0', value_off = 0, {attr_off = 0, ignore_error = 0, i = 0, rule_goto = 0, mode = 0, uid = 0, gid = 0, num_fake_part = 0, devlink_prio = 0, event_timeout = 0}}}} <repeats 64 times>}, token_cur = 0} __FUNCTION__ = "add_rule" #2 0x08050dd1 in parse_file (rules=0x807d188, filename=0x808c7f8 "/dev/.udev/rules.d/10-root-link.rules", filename_off=1) at udev-rules.c:1503 key = 0xafa7e6e4 "SUBSYSTEM" len = 72 f = (FILE *) 0x808b228 first_token = 0 line = "SUBSYSTEM\000=\"block\000, ENV{MAJOR}==\"254\", ENV{MINOR}==\"0\", SYMLINK+=\"root\"\n", '\0' <repeats 452 times>, "u���A�ߧp\216\004\b\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000Т��\002\000\000\000 (:��\030\213\004\b4\031���\017��l駯�����駯����", '\0' <repeats 17 times>, "���", '\0' <repeats 12 times>, "@�����\000^�\003\000\000�\a�\002\003\000\000\000\f�t>��\000\000\000\000\000\000\000"...
