Honored ContributorHoly cow this bug just wasted a lot of my time, thank you so much for posting about it.
On Quartus 10.1 SP1, running quartus_map with special characters in /etc/issue will cause a segfault. Running quartus_map with an empty /etc/issue will cause quartus_map to run forever. I cannot fathom why an FPGA technology mapper needs to read the system's /etc/issue file. If you are trying to figure out our OS/distro, there are about 1,000 other sensible ways to do this.
