Hello,
I posted the following question last year but still haven't gotten any answer.
I would really appreciate if someone can tell me a solution to this.
Thanks,

This is exactly happening to me now. It seems this problem is still not fixed.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks,
Ping :shock:

As far as I can tell, the problem was never specifically resolved because it couldn't be reproduced. You may or may not be seeing the same problem, segmentation faults are a general error message.
In order to fix this we will need to know your IRAF version and platform (linux or mac, 32- or 64-bit) as well as have some test data and parameters in order to reproduce the problem. There are no known bugs in the task fixed by recent updates, I apologize for overlooking your earlier post.
