flexfax: Signal 11 on Solaris 2.7

["Rudolf Wegmann" <support@loomdata.ch>]

Greetings to all of this list.

I'am new to this list and to hylafax.
I'v been trying to compile and install hylafax on our server during the last
days.
Unfortunately, i encountered a few problems compiling this stuff. Finally, i
get it compiled, even with help of the mailing list archive of hylafax, but
the first test to connect to the hylafax daemon by using faxstat or telnet
results in a Signal 11 crash of the daemon.

Following my configuration:
SUN E450, Solaris 2.7, NIS+, gcc2.95-1, tiff-v3.4, ghostscript5.5.,
HylaFax-v.0pl2

The main problems building hylafax were as follows:
- Because of low space on /usr i had to choose /opt as install destination.
- Configure failed because of test for libtiff was not successful.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH was not set to correct destination. I know this is mentioned
in the doc's therefore my fault.
- First compile run failed because of wrong makedepend path to assert.h. I
was able to fix this also with help of the mailing list.
- Next compile run failed because gcc2.95 is more restrictive. According to
hints on the mailing list, i should apply patch gcc-2.8.x.patch. This failed
also with message:

patch -p1 < gcc-2.8.x.patch
  Looks like a new-style context diff.
File to patch:

So, i found another hint on the list using compiler flag
LC++OPT -fpermissive. Afterwards the next compile run was successful but
with a lot of warning messages. Hmm.. I thougt this can be a problem at
runtime.

But anyway, i install all compiled stuff, configured the modem (Zyxel Omni
288S) and tried to connect to the daemon hfaxd. Following the reported
messages:
