Description Benjamin R. Haskell 2009-07-12 00:47:18 UTC

The 'brctl' utility segfaults when a bridge is named 'bridge' (which seemed like a more descriptive name to me than 'br0').

E.g.
# brctl addbr bridge
# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
.               zsh: segmentation fault  brctl show


This is broken in net-misc/bridge-utils 1.4.  I found the solution reported via Debian's bug tracker against their bridge-utils 1.2-1:
