What were you trying to do?
Tell dig to use a TCP connection instead of UDP.
What's wrong:
$ dig . -tcp
Segmentation Fault(coredump)
$ adb -P. /usr/athena/bin/dig core
core file = core -- program ``dig'' on platform SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
SIGSEGV: Segmentation Fault
.$c
atoi() + 4
init_dummy(3,ffbefb7c,ffbefb8c,53930,0,0) + ce0
.
What should have happened:
Instead of dumping core dig should have said "option -tcp not
recognized", "missing argument to -t option", "did you mean +vc?",
or some such error message.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
dig(1) (which claims to be part of the "NetBSD reference manual"!)
