Strange, I'm not able to reproduce something like this. Is it the latest git tree?

It would be nice to have output from "bt" gdb command after segfault and also try execute the command with:

  LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG=all lsipc

to get more verbose output about output table formatting. Thanks.

This happened with release version 2.27.1
I'll try that command.

log.txt
after that, it immediately segfaults.

Maybe the problem is strcmp(nl_langinfo(CODESET), ... it would be more robust to check if nl_langinfo() returns anything.

Could you please also provide the suggested backtrace using gdb's "bt" command.

$ echo -e "run\nbt" | gdb -x /dev/stdin  lsipc

You could add &>bt.log to get the output in a file rather than console screenshot but maybe it's not crashing then if stdout is no tty.

I did the following:
echo -e "run\nbt" | gdb -x /dev/stdin  lsipc &>bt.log
