Segmentation fault of whoisd 3.2.0


hi all,

        I´ve got a problem setting up the whois db server from your ftp server. 
I tried to install it in 3 versions (3.2.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.0). I followed exactly 
the instructions in the INSTALL files.
All of them showed me the same error when I wanted to start whois_rip:
Configuration [/usr/local/whoisd/conf/rip.config]:
/usr/local/whoisd/log/riperr/riperrlog
Segmentation fault

What happened?
Did I make any mistake?

regards 
Andreas
