Hi,

This problem was fixed after the 2.5.0p2 release, use CVS or the latest 2.5.0p2 snapshot from

A similar (same?) bug was reported by J Tibbet in May and again
on June 30.  Supposedly it was corrected, so a newer snapshot
may be in order.  If not, Paul B, on July 3 posted a couple of
lines of patch you could apply to amcheck.c.
