Good day, Jeff,

	I had to make a quick patch to get it to compile; do I have libc.a
in a non-standard location?

	Adding debug brings up the gdb window, but I'm not good enough
with gdb to figure out what to do.  Sorry.  I do know enough about the
process to know that the addr/ip pair isn't enough to find the problem
without System.map.  I'd be happy to provide that if it's useful, but I
suspect you've got enough crashes of your own.
	Cheers,
