With this;

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

double num;

int main()
{
  num = 16;     
  num = sqrt(num);              
  return 0;                                     
}                                               

I don't get any problems with neither gcc version 2.95.4 20010703
(Debian prerelease) or gcc version 3.0.1 20010801 (Debian prerelease).

Both compiles just fine, and runs without any segfaults.

My bet would be that your compiler-enviroment is broken. Did you
compile/install it yourself?
