About the segfaults on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) and Debian 7.0 (Wheezy): After a couple of weeks I've found two different solutions/hacks:
Debian Wheezy: I found a proper work-around for the static object initialization problem. Ubuntu Oneric: This work-around is not working on Ubuntu 11.10, so I implemented a hack (doing static object initialization "by hand"). In both cases it seems to be a problem with the linker. The GNU team has changed the linker concept (the .ctors section is gone), and this linker is not working properly. This assumption is based on a remote diagnosis (and it's difficult to do a remote diagnosis). Thanks to Lars who did many, many tests on his Ubuntu 11.10 release, and thanks to Tom who also did many tests on his Debian 7.0 release. Finally: revision #161 should work on all distributions, even the broken ones. -- Gregor Cramer email: <[email protected]>
