pal version 0.4.2 on CentOS 5, gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42), in interactive mode (pal -m), add event, 'filename to add event to' is accepted, then 'select how often this event occurs' leads to 'Select type'. Select 0 or 1 results in immediate segfault with error message 'Segmentation fault'. Selecting other numeric choices leads to question 'Does this event have a start and end date?'. Select 'no' leads to segfault. Select 'yes' accepts first date and second date, then segfaults when 'yes' is chosen to accept.
I can manually enter event data in the event file and that data is displayed correctly.
I decided to write a similar app using perl. You can try it here:
