I play on a G3 imac with 1GB memory. On CURRENT. I often get SIGSEGV and a rebuild on that component succeeds. So, for me it seems strange. I'll change some DIMM's and see how far I get. But nevertheless, I remember back in 05, I had to reduce hw.physmem to 512MB. Is this still needed, Peter? TIA, Andreas
