Comment:

 The error is related to the I_location_info(title, argv[0]) call before
 line 112 and the size of the title buffer. The consequence is a buffer
 overflow resulting in a segfault.

 The I_location_info() function is implemented quite unsafe using sprintf
 without checking the buffer length. It is always a bad idea to fill a
 buffer with an unknown length. I have fixed this in svn [41880] and
 removed the unused I_location_info() call from i.group.

 It seems to me that I_location_info() is not used by any imagery module?
 Could it be removed?
