I know this doesn't help the OP solve their problem, but I too have seen this
problem, just the other day, when trying to restore a file (only a ~150mb
file). Only in my case I was using using bextract, not bconsole. I'm using
5.0.1 though... (stuck to packages from Ubuntu repositories :-( ) The server is
running Ubuntu server 10.4.3, x86_64 with 1GB RAM (tried assigning 2GB RAM to
the machine too, but still the same issue).
I received the error stated above, then I got a segfault reported and returned
to shell.
I would be interested to see if anyone has any input on what could be causing
this error, as I wasn't able to get to the bottom of it. In the end I was able
to restore from the volume by using bscan to repopulate the catalog with the
volume contents, but I'd like to know how to deal with the problem, if I ever
had to fall back onto bextract!
Thanks,
Joe
