I have been installing 2.2.2 for the past few days, and I keep
running into a similar problem.  After a while, sysinstall can no
longer be used to add packages or distribution sets.

It just core dumps with a segmentation violation after it prints the
message window that it is logging into the ftp site. I tend to use the
primary site, but it seems to also happen with the mirrors.  

Has anyone else seen this behavior and is there a way to get it
working again?
