tell regarding libgc? Are you sure, you are not running out of memory=20
(that would likely happen, if you oo2c doe snot use libgc)? For some=20

either use that or a manual installation (and not both).

Can you start the last command that crahsed manually from gdb (gdb <oo2c =

resulting stack trace to the list (bt)?
