Description:   Opened: 2008-01-06 08:21 0000 
cronolog leaves the array of long options as used in cronolog.c and cronotest.c
without the required 0 filled last record, therefore the use of an unknown long
option will traverse the array and segfault as shown in the linked URL

amd64 (at least for me) seems easier to replicate the problem as can be seen by
:

$ /usr/sbin/cronolog --unknown-longopt
Segmentation fault

the same problem is also present in the test framework cronotest.c which
doesn't get installed
