Hi,

Could you please try applying the following patch, running autoconf, and
rebuilding cooledit? A workaround for a problem uncannily like this was
already in the cooledit source, but accidentally not enabled. If it
works I'll upload it.

diff -u cooledit-3.17.1/configure.in cooledit-3.17.1/configure.in
--- cooledit-3.17.1/configure.in
+++ cooledit-3.17.1/configure.in

+if test "${target_cpu}" = powerpc -a \
+	-n "`echo ${target_os} | grep linux`" ; then
 AC_DEFINE(CRASHES_ON_STARTUP,1)
 fi
 

Thanks,
