[Bug 481776] [NEW] Segmentation fault of socat on 9.10 i386, installed from ubuntu repository

[Igor]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: socat

socat 1.7.1.0-1 installed from packages (apt-get install socat) crashed issued "socat ./serial stdin,echo=0,raw" where "serial" is socket (serial port) created by guest vmware machine (I use it to connect to serial port of guest).
However, same socat version compiled from sources (apt-get sources socat) is working correct. Looks like there is some problem in compilation environment.

I decided to open a bug because same crash was reproduced on few more
servers running Ubuntu 9.10 i386, upgraded and installed from scratch.

This is not relevant to x86_64 - socat working correct in Ubuntu 9.10
x86_64.
