 I've struck this problem as well and have been able to do some
 rudimentary investigation.
 
 Under FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE I can *not* reproduce the problem.  Amanda
 2.4.5 seems to work fine with FreeBSD 5.
 
 Under FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p8 I can reproduce the problem, so perhaps
 the problem is confined to just FreeBSD 4.
 
 Experimenting with the broken port under FreeBSD 4, I was able to
 produce a different failure mode by varying compiler optimisation flags.
 Originally I had "CFLAGS= -O -pipe" in /etc/make.conf.  With these
 compiler flags Amanda 2.4.5 would fail with bus error in planner.
 
 After rebuilding with "-O" removed from CFLAGS, the planner seemed to
 exit successfully, but the dump run would still fail with some other
 Amanda process exiting on a segmentation fault.  I haven't been able to
 identify which process/executable was copping the segfault.
