Hi Benny, thanks for answering

It is on 10.1. I have read this on the archives:

netbsd-nuc$ LIBC_ALLOWCTYPEABUSE="TRUE" pavucontrol

But no luck, it seems to be only for NetBSD-11, not for NetBSD-10.1


ENVIRONMENT

     In NetBSD 11, the ctype functions will always crash with a signal 
on cer-tain invalid inputs as a diagnostic aid for applications; see 
CAVEATS.
     Setting the environment variable LIBC_ALLOWCTYPEABUSE before 
starting a program will restore the old behavior of returning nonsense 
answers for these inputs, or sometimes but not always crashing, 
depending on factors such as address space layout randomization.

Regards.
Ramiro.
