Hi,

Thanks John for precise description.  However, it seems gdb is doing
no good.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
gdb /usr/local/bin/kaffe
GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/kaffe

Program terminated with signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
The program no longer exists.
You can't do that without a process to debug
(gdb) info registers
The program has no registers now.
(gdb) where
No stack.
(gdb) quit
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If I'm doing anything wrong, please let me know.  (I use gdb only
occasionally.)

Although I have no idea if these would give you any interesting info,
I also tried some other things.

1. Set a breakpoint at main() and ran the program:

It died even before entering main().

2. Ktrace'd the execution:

I don't know which peace of info can be useful, but I found that the
program dies after mmap call which occurs several steps after reading
and mmapping libc.so.3.0.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to solve this
problem.  (I sure wish I were knowledgeable enough to hack things away
myself.)
