Thanks a lot to Bill Allombert, the problem has been identified as a missing /proc. I don't know whether it's due to glibc or gcc, but either gcc or glibc should have proper errorhandling and give a sane error, rather than just segfaulting. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar jeroen@wolffelaar.nl http://jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
