Re: Bash segmentation fault on startup/ssh

[Nick Gnazzo]

Hi Chet,

I was able to solve the problem; I had accidentally set my bashrc file
to source itself upon startup, which caused the segmentation fault.
Changing the file fixed the problem as far as I can tell.

Thanks for following up.

Thanks,
Nick
