So if I understand correctly, there is no segfault if you enter
  fun1 2 x*x/x 100 0 100
into PAW, and this function is graphed correctly, is that right?

Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce the bug in plotting f(x) = x,
neither in testing nor in unstable on i386, nor in unstable on amd64.
So there must be something system-dependent about it.  Could you please
answer the following questions for me?  One of them might provide
relevant information.

- What is the output of the command "which pawX11" ?  (Type it at the
shell prompt without the surrounding quotes.)
- ... of "ldd $(which pawX11)" ?
- ... of "ls -l /usr/bin/paw*" ?
- ... of "dpkg -l libc6-dev" ?
- What are the contents of /etc/ld.so.conf ?
- ... of /etc/apt/sources.list ?
- Are you using an i386 computer as stated by reportbug in your report?
(You can check this with the command "dpkg --print-architecture".)
- Do you have any libraries installed in /usr/local/lib or somewhere
else listed in /etc/ld.so.conf that might be interfering?
- Did you compile any Cernlib-related packages on your own machine, or
are all of them the binary debs provided by Debian?
- If you run "gdb /usr/bin/pawX11" and try to run the same command in
PAW, what is the output of gdb when the segfault occurs?  (Of course
you'll need to install the gdb package for this test.)  Type "where" at
the gdb prompt after the segfault to get a backtrace.
- Do you have any config files for PAW in your home directory, or in the
directory where you run the segfaulting command?  If so, please provide
them.  (Such files would include .pawlogon.kumac in $HOME, and
pawlogon.kumac, paw.metafile, last.kumac and higz_windows.dat in the
current directory.)
- Is PAW creating directories /tmp/comisXXXXXX when run (with XXXXXX
replaced by random strings; it should be able to do so)?  If you have
$TMPDIR set, also look there, and let me know the value of $TMPDIR .
- Do you have any non-Debian versions of Cernlib installed on this computer?
- Anything else that might be at all unusual about this system?
- Are you able to reproduce the segfault on any other computer(s)
running Etch, if you have one available?
- What about on computer(s) running Sarge or an up-to-date Sid?

best regards,
