I had a look. Just about everything there is intialisation and there
is nothing that points to any obvious bug.

A better bet would be to run it inside gdb and when it crashes
grab a backtrace using the bt command. Some thing like this:


    prompt > gdb /usr/bin/gliv
    (gdb) run
    ...... gliv segfaults .......
    (gdb) bt

and then post that to the list or you website depending on the size.

Hope this helps,
Erik
