Error description

• ClearCase cleartool catcr command fails with a segmentation
  fault when attempting to print MVFS dependencies with long paths
  
  
  
  ClearCase 7.1.1.3
  
  
  RedHat and SuSE Clients
  
  
  
  To Reproduce:
  
     1)  Build a derived object with clearmake that has
  dependencies with very long pathnames
  
     2)  Once the target has been built, issue the following
  command:
             cleartool catcr ?derived_object?
  
         Where ?derived_object? was the name of the target built
  by clearmake
  
  When the catcr command begins to output the dependencies of the
  built derived object, the segfault occurs once the following
  output header is seen:
  
  ----------------------------
  MVFS objects:
  ----------------------------
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  
  
  Workaround:  none
