When trying to convert a dvi to pdf with dvipdfm from tetex-2.0.2-r5, a segmentation fault occurs. I have tried this with the most recent version of tetex in portage also (tetex-3.0-r2) which also results in the same error Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Created attachment 87212 [details, diff] tetex-3.0_p1-time-zone.patch Let me take a wild guess... you are in a not-whole-hour-time-zone? :) The above patch should fix your problem. Can you please try it out and report back if it works. If you know C you are more than welcome to look at the patch and comment on it... it took some time to figure out how the PDF standard wants time zones and how tm_gmtoff defines time zones. I think the sign should be right in every case.
Unfortunately I am unable to verify the patch, as I am now using an amd64 install and the bug is not present... In this case I think it is because previously I had CLOCK="local" set in /etc/conf.d/clock whereas I now use CLOCK="UTC" I will try to reproduce it, and will let you know how I go. Perhaps you should forward the patch upstream?
(In reply to comment #2) > I will try to reproduce it, and will let you know how I go. Doesn't matter. I have been able to reproduce it myself and (a slightly modified) patch has been appplied to the -r3 revision. > Perhaps you should forward the patch upstream? dvipdfm upstream is dead (they promised Debian to fixed it in jan 2005, nothing has happend since). The project has been forked (or taken over) by dvipdfmx. dvipdfmx has tried to fix it themself but apperently their fix is wrong (at least acording to the PDF standard), so I sent my patch to them.
