I agree. The circumstances on the systems are different and I suspect that the root causes may be different. It's possible Hezekiah's problem is related to the multiple installs of plplot lying around; certainly the ldd results are a little odd. That's not to say that there isn't/wasn't a memory corruption/overwrite/misuse issue occurring as well. > The other point I want to make concerns segfaults ... gives several > straightforward ways you can get those from C, but they miss the big one > which is memory management issues ...

Adding debug code for example an appear to make the problem disappear.
