A typical heisenbug (goes away if you look too closely). Keep in mind that the bug may be at a completely different location somewhere earlier in the code. I even had bugs in the mustek backend that cause the next backend that was loaded by dll.c to segfault in some situations. There may be a bug in glibc but I guess lots of other people would have noticed. Bye, Henning
