Well, if the error is indeterminate, then I would start to suspect your hardware. Errors such as this often indicate bad memory, in my experience. Getting segfaults all the time is a classic example of this. Get hold of memtest86 (http://www.teresaudio.com/memtest86/) and give your memory a good going over. Running crashme off a boot floppy might also be, ah, interesting... >Andreas Goesele Cameron Kerr -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~cameronk/
