So am I!

You didn't say so, but I presume you configured with exactly same options
and have latest stable autotools like Joao and me (not Debian ones).

Or maybe it is gcc version?

I have Debian woody

Version: 2:2.95.4-14

If everything is the same between us, then try valgrind on x01c in case
there are memory problems but they just happen not to have any nasty
consequences for your particular machine (often memory management bugs give
different results on different machines because they are history dependent).

If valgrind shows no problems at all, then I am really REALLY puzzled.
Bitrot has set in, its the end of the world as I know it, I am going
crazy....;-)

Or should that be crazier....;-)
