[cobalt-security] chown segfaults with option --from on Raq550

Hi,

chown segfaults and I don't know why, I tried this on several Raq550's.
When I use chown from debian woody, it works like a charm.

I just discovered this, and don't have time atm to find out if this
exploitable or to look at the core dump. Beneath is and and example from
the problem:

[root test]# ls -la
total 4
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root           30 Jan 24 13:02 .
drwx------    9 admin    users        4096 Jan 24 13:02 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 24 13:02 1
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 24 13:02 2
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 24 13:02 3
[root test]# chown admin * --from=root
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[root test]# chown-debian admin * --from=root
[root test]# ls -la
total 92
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root           41 Jan 24 13:03 .

-rw-r--r--    1 admin    root            0 Jan 24 13:02 2
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    root            0 Jan 24 13:02 3
-rw-------    1 admin    root        90112 Jan 24 13:03 core
