up2date crash problem

[Marc Siegel]

Hi all,

up2date crashes for me on Fedora Core Release 1 (yarrow), and it is not 
a problem I've seen anywhere else on the net. Please help!

I am behind a firewall, but as you can see below I have both set the 
HTTP_PROXY environment variable as well as configured up2date-config to 
use the proxy.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks
Marc Siegel
