Why shouldn't I do this? Is it just because debug binaries are bigger or = run=20 slower? If so, that's not a problem for me, I have a fast processor and a= lot=20 of memory. > Segmentation faults are pretty rare on all my systems, unless it's > code that is under active development.

I have always suspected the hardware because on my old computer, everythi= ng=20 worked. But how do I see what the problem really is?
