Other details of your setup or configuration? What torrc lines are you using? Did the ./configure output look funny at all? Does it happen immediately on startup? If so, you could run it in valgrind and then valgrind will give you a more useful hint about what's going wrong. glibc isn't really very useful for this sort of thing. --Roger
