Agreed that the original program had the char*[20]/char[20] bug, but his segv 
is occurring before trying to use that array.  So it's a bug - but he just 
hadn't hit it yet.  :-)

I'd still like to see a debugging version so that we can get a real stack 
trace, and/or try the latest 1.4.4 RC (posted yesterday).
