[SOLVED] Debian - kernel dircolors daily error 6

I'm using Debian 5.0.4 Lenny. Daily my logs kern.log, messages, and syslog are filled with errors regarding dircolors:
Quote:
Aug 24 23:05:34 myserver.com kernel: [1906415.362252] dircolors[11556]: segfault at 0 ip 08049e30 sp bfffcd4c error 6 in dircolors[8048000+8000]
Aug 24 23:08:02 myserver.com kernel: [1906563.298468] dircolors[12296]: segfault at 0 ip 08049e30 sp bffff61c error 6 in dircolors[8048000+8000]
Aug 24 23:10:30 myserver.com kernel: [1906711.794160] dircolors[12914]: segfault at 0 ip 08049e30 sp bfffe8fc error 6 in dircolors[8048000+8000]
etc...
I've googled this to death and still haven't found a solution to fix or stop this.

I read on man dircolors to: dircolors --version
The output I receive on this cmd is only: Segmentation fault

I do: dircolors --print-database
The output I pasted here since it is quite long: dircolors -p # Configuration - Anonymous - 1cepQj3B - Pastebin.com
It ends with:
.wav 00;36
Segmentation fault

Thank you for the help Smilie

EDIT: Solved by doing:
aptitude reinstall coreutils
