I might assume that it is specific to hfsutils-tcltk, but I know that
there are also currently some glibc bugs around...
Anyway, I would like to reproduce the bug, so can you make available
somewhere an image of your disk? It would be a great help to
investigate that bug further.
I did a bit more testing. The format crash is independent of what
floppy I use except it doesn't happen if it's write protected or an
800k floppy (still had one floating around).
When trying to open a disk it failed on all my original software disks
(all less than 800k), but crashed on any disk I had formatted myself.
I don't have an original software disk of 1.4 megs to test with. I put
an image of one of my formatted disks at
http://coweater.servequake.com/hfs.img (1.44 MB). I just used 'cat
/dev/fd0 > hfs.img' to create it.
It seems like it's probably related to glibc rather than my floppies.
Thanks for your report, it is highly appreciated.
Cheers,
