cfengine under x86_64

[William H. Bell]

Hi,

Has anyone seen segmentation faults of cfengine built for x86_64?  We have 
been using cfengine 2.1.13 under both Redhat Enterprise 3.0.3 and 4.0 on 
32 bit systems.  After buying some AMD Athlon 3800+ desktops I rebuilt our 
RPM based on dag's rpm spec file for x86_64.  When running "cfagent -q" on 
the x86_64 client the program issued a segmentation fault while processing 
our cf.groups file containing:

groups:

  # Classes dependent on machine type
  desktop = ( HostRange(machine,1-99) another09 )
  server = ( HostRange(boxes,4-5) )
  ppelx = ( machine55 machine62 machine70 )

I then built a x86_84 RPM of cfengine version 2.1.18 using dag's more 
recent spec file http://dag.wieers.com/packages/cfengine/cfengine.spec and 
tried that.  This also gave a segmentation fault but with some more 
information:

address@hidden dir]# /usr/sbin/cfagent -q --debug

cf:cfengine::/var/cfengine/inputs/cf.groups:8: Function or format of input file 
requires 1 argument items

Segmentation fault

Line 8 of the cf.groups file contains the first use of HostRange:
desktop = ( HostRange(machine,1-99) another09 )

Has anyone seen anything like this?  Should I be using some special built 
options.  (I can send the build log for any interested.)  For now I'm 
using my i386 RPM on the x86_64 system.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Will
