CROSSDRIZ is a script task and the error appears to actually be coming from the FOURIER.TAPEREDGE task being called. Segmentation faults are usually coding errors, but may be errors dependent on the data. Since this is an STSDAS task you might also contact the helpdesk at STScI (help@stsci.edu) to see if they are aware of any problems. The task doesn't appear to have changed since 1997 so this may be a new issue for them.

Cheers,

Apparently the bug really comes from the stsdas package because our sysadmin told me that some days ago he has updated this package to the newest one available. But it seems that I haven't been using this task after the update. Now, after he downgraded to the old version (v. 3.7), everything is working again. I will also report to the STScI staff.

Thanks!
