It's an Alpha thing. I started looking into this bug a few weeks ago, but got busy with other things. One thing I do know that needs to be done is adding "-mieee" to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS on Alpha. It would probably be best to add this into the autoconf parts of the package rather than the rules script (which is how I was experimenting with it). I'll look at it more tonight, if time allows (my main PC just died last night, so I need to try to repair it). IIRC, adding -mieee solves the segfault problem, but I believe my investigation got interrupted before actually exercising aptitude more to see if there were other problems. C
