vcstime segfaults in 2.4.29

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi!

This:
http://www.planetpenguin.de/manpage-1-vcstime.1.html
describes vcstime. I am not sure what distro has it
included. Debian does.

It uses /dev/vcsa to access the attributes of the vc:
http://fux0r.phathookups.com/unixmanpages/vcs.4.html

The code is in the latest Bruby patches of 2.4.29 in
/drivers/char/vc_screen.c to do all that but running
vcstime causes a segfault.

It actually works in 2.6.9 and its latest Ruby patch.

I am looking for pointers on how to debug and fix
this, since most of you have far more experience in
this than I do.

Thanks!

Hugo
