I've been using Amanda 2.4.2p2 for several years.  Server is Linux
2.4.20 and clients are Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX and Tru-64.

Had a DLE that was too large so it was time for gnu tar and an exclude list.
Installed Amanda 2.4.4b1 on the troublesome client, Linux 2.4.18, and it's
fine there.  Installed 2.4.4b1 on the server and it won't even pass amcheck.
Just dies with a "Segmentation fault"  So I fire up gdb:

gdb amcheck

(gdb) run -c hmcis
Starting program: /usr/local/pkg/amanda/sbin/amcheck -c hmcis

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
chunk_free (ar_ptr=0x464c457f, p=0x40028a1b) at malloc.c:3049

Any ideas?  The one client's fine with 2.4.4b1 and it's very similar to
the server (same hardware, same original RedHat install and the like).
