FreeBSD Port: cfengine36-3.6.1_3,1

[Jurica Borozan]

Hi,

I am currently in gbd chasing the problems.

Data memory region gets overwritten for some reasons destroying
variables content after certain (but "innocent" function call
ArchiveToRepository - check gdb output bellow) and causes segmentation
fault.

I will prepare it with all other test files and instructions in new email.

It is internal feature from cfengine: if certain file is
processed/changed it can (depending on content of cf script) save backup
first (with extension *.cf-before-edit).
