Hmm, is this before or after PHK's new printf stuff? visuserconfig uses printf pretty heavily, and any funnies would cause unspeakable havoc. Can you give some idea of where it's crashing? If you're seeing stack corruption, I'd blame printf, but if it's repeatable and not stack-based then I'll have to have a look 8( > This is an i386 with an MDA display (in case it matters :).
