Because I was doing nothing else important I decided to give this a try 
as well... I got a seg fault.  I have also been noticing some other 
strange behaviour on my home machine when compiling.. things failing with 
bus errors or seg faults that work fine when I do the same compile on my 
work machine... the only difference between the two is really the way 
FreeBSD was installed.  The home machine was installed over 2.0.5 as an 
upgrade and the work machine was installed as a clean 2.1 install.  
Could this be a cause of these random errors, or do I maybe have some 
dodgy hardware in the home machine ?

cheers,
Carey
