lcd4linux segmentation fault

I am trying to use lcd4linux on a Fedora Core 3 system with a CrystalFontz? CF633 serial lcd panel. However, I get a segmentaion fault when I tried to run lcd4linux. Please see attached -Fvv output.

Thanks, tron

I fixed some signed/unsigned mismatches in the Crystalfontz driver. Could you please try the latest CVS version? If this does not fix your problem, could you run lcd4linux with gdb?

Anyway, looks like you have a serious problem with your display: The Crytsalfontz driver should never ever report garbage bytes....

i downloaded the latest code from CVS and it worked.
