[GRASS-user] v.random segfault

[Eric Patton]

Hi guys,

I have encountered an error using v.random. It segfaults whenever I try to
create some random points.

> gdb v.random
(gdb) run output=test_points npoints=6 restrict=test column=Depth --v --o
Starting program: /usr/local/grass78/bin/v.random output=test_points npoints=6 restrict=test column=Depth --v --o

Is there anything else I can try? І'm not sure what's going on with the
debugging symbols, but it shouldn't be causing the program to crash, right?

My system:
