On Linux running on either SPARC or PPC, trying to invoke

on the console, the exception doesn't break the IDE.
Sounds like a bug in lhelp. Can you start lhelp standalone and check?
With the dialogue displayed, the IDE is unresponsive but lhelp is
running. In that state, lhelp allows me to select a file but fails on
SPARC (not tested PPC, don't believe I see this on ARM) with a bus error.
On PPC (Mac G3 running Debian "Lenny") I get the "Unknown..." exception
in the IDE but don't get an error in lhelp.
I see neither error on ARM (Debian "Squeeze"). However this is an
armv5tejl as implemented by Qemu emulation, and it might not be as
touchy on alignment issues as something like a genuine armv5tel or there
might be better OS-level handling.
