Segmentation fault during setup

[Paradox]

Well, another segmentation fault, after further testing... bummer.

so, it doesn't seem to be a size issue, i'm thinking there are badly formed hosts in the list, or something.

I found that the actual part causing the segmentation fault comes from | cat tmpbl - | grep -Fvwf tmpwl | sort -u

So, now, I'm looking into why it is happening, and, how to avoid it.

I've narrowed it down to the sort command, but, I'm still not 100% sure why it happens, and, only on one segment of the file, and, no others.

Well, I lowered the line count, again, this time to 10000, took forever, but, completed, without a segfault, only problem now, is that it runs fine, for a while, and, then stops responding, if I reboot, computers can't get an address from the dhcp server, and, I have to reset the router to connect, again. Sometimes, I can use a static IP on my computer, and, I also found that if I use the pause argument, the router will start working, again, but, of course, it doesn't block ads, so, I guess the large mphosts file is just too much for this router, and I may have to look into customizing the list to use more domains, instead of hosts? or something, to cut down on the size of the file. But, if nothing else, it has given me something to tinker with, and, when I get ahold of another, more capable router, I will have a good idea how it works. Maybe I'll even adapt it and use one of my Linux machines as my DNS server, instead.

Interesting... I removed the sort -u command, and disabled my code, it went completely through, with no segfault, but, when I opened the mphosts file in vi, I found some very interesting entries, at the start of the file, one example is 0.1.2.3 local I'm pretty sure, that shouldn't be there, and, may be the reason my router stops working, and starts working again, when I pause the mphosts file...

Thanks for the feedback. Any solutions yet? I have been a bit busy with other things and could not look into this.
