Re: irrd_rpsl_submit segmentation violation

Lee,

Thanks for the copy of your irrd.conf file.  I'm sure
you are aware that a '!' as the first character causes
the line to be ignored, ie, it is the irrd.conf comment
character.

An engineer in the group (Jon Poland) figured out your problem.
The 'irr_directory' should be defined and is not in your irrd.conf.
The 'opendir' call seg faults on a linux if it is given a NULL 
pointer.

So define an 'irr_directory' entry and let me know the results.

BTW, this points to another problem of what the code should do 
if the user doesn't supply a cache directory.  Since the DB's 
go there and you really have nothing if you do not have any DB's 
in your cache/irr_directory, we are going to make 'irr_directory' 
mandatory and return an error message to the user if one is not 
provided.
