Okay, good. Three responses so far confirming that it does work on systems like mine, but apparently not *exactly* like mine. So, where lies the crutial difference? Would a ktrace dump help anyone figure this out? It really doesn't get very far at all before crashing. It loads some libraries (m, Xt, Xext, X11, and c), tries to read /etc/malloc.conf (which doesn't exist), does a getrlimit, setrlimit, sigprocmask, sigaction, sigprocmask, break, break and crashes displaying: SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation sig 11, code 12 or 0xc, sc 0xefbfd3a4, addr 0x1c Full thread dump: Is there anything in the kernel config that could affect it one way or another? -john
