 You can file bugs at Sourceforge, see
 
   http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=120&atid=100120
 
 
 A comparison between 2.4.4p4, 2.4.5p1 and 2.5.2p1 (latest stable version)
 shows that the bug is probably fixed in the latter by using
 
   memset(stats, 0, SIZEOF(stats));
 
 on the structure array "stats".
 
 Personally, I would tend to do the following: Prepare a patch based on
 the differences between 2.4.4p4 and 2.5.2p1 and ask on the amanda
 mailing list for comments about your analysis of the problem and that patch.
 If the resulting patch fixes the problem, pkgsrc could probably incorporate
 this.
