the kernel-headers are a moving target, always good for little surprises
like this. Hopefully such problems will be cured with next release of
glibc, the recommended policy is now to link /usr/include/{asm,system}
to a copy of the kernel headers that will come with glibc together to
get better consistency.

too bad.. last time I tried it did uncover a bug in the kernel,
that one was fixed in 2.2.17. Try a gdb backtrace to get an idea
where the problem is.

no, did you try the CVS version? Also it seems their primary platform
for testing and development is nano-X/microwindows. In X there might
be a problem with the old version of imlib that comes with our distribution.
I have been listening to viewml mailing list and segfaults shouldn't be
so frequent anymore.
It looks like promising development though, I could well imagine it
as a QDOS browser. libwww has been ported for QDOS and nano-X should
not be a serious problem.
Btw did you try fluid? A pretty cute GUI builder that comes with fltk.
