Arch Linux

If I try to set the IMEI of my Qualcom 3G WCDMA, GTM 382 via ifconfig to what it already is I get a SIGSEGV using net-tools 1.60.20160215git-1.

> ifconfig hso0 hw ash 354533022786588
Segmentation violation at ...

By recompiling the package with -gstabs and by use of gdb I got the following backtrace:
