gprolog is dumping core for us.  Here are the symptoms, as a shell command:

  $ gprolog --entry-goal true

  Fatal Error: Segmentation Violation

This is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga),
on a server with an Intel Xeon E5620.  "uname -a" reports
"Linux _._.ucla.edu 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Sep 20 07:12:06 EDT 2010 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux".

The gprolog version is 1.3.1.  I get the same results regardless
of whether I compile with stock gcc (4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48))
or with my own copy of GCC 4.5.1.  I can reproduce the problem by
doing this:

wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gprolog/gprolog-1.3.1.tar.gz
tar xf gprolog-1.3.1.tar.gz
cd gprolog-1.3.1/src
./configure
make
TopComp/gprolog --entry-goal true

If I do "./configure CFLAGS=-g" and "make CFLAGS=-g"
and then "gdb TopComp/gprolog", I get this backtrace:

(gdb) r --entry-goal true
Starting program: /dev/shm/eggert/gprolog-1.3.1/src/TopComp/gprolog 
--entry-goal true
