While playing with TOP GROUP I managed to get elog 2.6.1 1660 on Solaris 9 to coredump. Since I didn't really understand TOP GROUP I tried a URL where I had http://elog.server.com/topgroupname/logbookname. Putting that logbookname at the end caused elog to dump.

Can this be reproduced by others?


No. This forum has the "elog" as the top group, "Forum" as the logbook, so if I write

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/elog/Forum

it does not crash.

Try a non-existent logbook - example http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/elog/NewForum. This is occurring under rev 1660.
