Since the crash occurs in kpathsea, perhaps, but see the valgrind output below (I doubt this is a glibc bug, even though the crash doesn't occur under Mac OS X -- but maybe one needs a different testcase for Mac OS X). $ valgrind bibtex livre_fp ==13096== Memcheck, a memory error detector. ==13096== Copyright (C) 2002-2008, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==13096== Using LibVEX rev
