Hi!

I've been inactive for the past year, so I don't know if this is already fixed.
Sometimes I get segmentation fault during downloading db or package.
This is the latest output from today. As you may see this is with --debug,
but it doesn't really helps to get idea on what may cause the segfault.

Targets (3): audacious-plugins-2.1-1  audacious-2.1-1  python-2.6.2-4

Total Download Size:    18.47 MB
Total Installed Size:   73.52 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

error: segmentation fault
Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault.
Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate.

At the time of this segfault I was connected to a wireless network
with quite unstable connection (disconnects are rare,
but I think packet loss might have place).

Seems like libfetch related issue. Is this known?
Or if it's alpm/pacman-related - was something like this fixed in git?


P.S.: looks like --debug is not even mentioned in the man page,
is this intentional or just forgotten?
