I don't have the OpenBSD strchr.c source code online here so I'll stop speculating here...

[Martin v. Loewis]

It's this:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/string/index.c I can't see anything wrong in it, and it hasn't significantly changed in ages, either.

Looks fine to me too -- and it's a very simple function. Google didn't turn up any suggestion of strchr problems under OpenBSD either.

Hate to say it, but the pointer passed to strchr must be insane, and that makes it more likely a Python, or platform compiler, bug.

I'd be curious what pname points to when the process crashes.
