It's not immediate, and that changes everything :) It crashes at exit. > The problem is caused by the packages distributed. Yes and no. The problem seems to have arisen with the new libc6 package, 2.23. Previous versions of libc6 didn't pose problem. I thus guess it's a change of behavior in libc6 that triggered the issue. > The story of mbrola is really becoming a tragedy. Yes, but that's what you can only expect by relying on non-free software, unfortunately.

But the problem really is not there: that same binary crashes all the same on a 32bit box. > Till now no-one has come up with an idea.. [7] Did anyone think about just mailing Thierry DUTOIT <[email protected]> ? He is the only one who can do anything about it. Yes, that's what happens with non-free software. In the meanwhile, since it crashes at exit, I will upload an ugly workaround that makes exit just exit without trying to clean. Samuel
