flexfax: hfaxd segfaults on redhat/axp

[Stephen Weiss <STEPHEN@ESC.IE.Lehigh.EDU>]

I've been trying to recompile hylafax4.0-pl2 for quite a while now, with
limited success.

I finally pulled a source rpm for redhat 5, that included just about every
imaginable patch, and went through and compiled that just fine.

Running hfaxd -i 4559 (like I had done previously) seemed to work just fine,
until I tried to connect to the port, at which point:

Mar 15 14:19:47 alpha HylaFAX[11207]: CAUGHT SIGNAL 11  
[Segmentation Fault]

I ran gdb on hfaxd, and here's what ensued:

[root@alpha /root]# gdb /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/hylafax-v4.0pl2/hfaxd/hfaxd

[At this point I telnet to the machine at port 4550]

I tried commenting out the offending line in Dispatcher.c++, to no avail -
now it just doesn't work at all.  I don't know very much about C/C++
programming, so it would be helpful if someone with more experience could
give me some advice.  Thank you.

I can't think of anything else pertinent, but if you can, just ask.
