Same here...

Oh. Didn't see that. Then that part is OK. Sorry.

Hmmm. Interesting: I can provoke the crash on *my other* RedHat6.2
computer (the one still running the egcs compiler). My stack trace says

Looks like it is happening during the dynamic linking itself. Doesn't
look nice. (But installing gcc 2.95.2 might fix your problem.)
