This makes sense, since the time the regression started failing is consistent with when gcc was upgraded on zizzer.
I see there is a gcc-4.4 package available for ubuntu 11.04 (which zizzer is running)... is there more to it than installing that package and recompiling to get a workable binary to run tracediff with? I'd try myself but I've forgotten my zizzer password (again!) so I can't sudo. It's tough when you've had the same password for ten years then you change it but don't use the new one much...
