Problem with key

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply! My delay in replying is due to trying
different things, see below:

It does appear as if the segfault is happening inside of the lua
libraries.

Well, originally I was working with the Debian Squeeze liblua5.1-0, and
lua5.1 packages (Debian package revision 5.1.4-5) which are based off of
5.1.4. I wasn't aware of the differences between the different lua
patchsets, so I thought this was the latest. However, closer examination
showed me that this was patch-lua-5.1.4-2. 

So I tried to update to the Wheezy version, which is based off of
patch-lua-5.1.4-3, that didn't work. The newer patch-lua-5.1.4-4 is not
in Debian, so I filed a bug requesting that be added, but in the
meantime I couldn't wait so I build one based off of patch-lua-5.1.4-4.

However, the segfault remained.

In terms of ekeyd, yes, I am using the v1.1.4 release.

Now I'm at the most current, and wondering where to go from here.

thanks,
