It didn't kill the process. gdb traps all signals, even the ones that currently have signal handlers. The SIGILL that is caused by attempting to execute the 'lvx' instruction is caught by liboil, and subsequent usage of Altivec is disabled. This is the recommended and well-documented method of detecting Altivec. Unfortunately, gdb got in the way, and you interpreted this as a crash. It isn't. You probably found a real bug. The backtrace you provided does not correspond to your bug. Please follow the instructions I gave you previously to get a good backtrace. dave... -- David Schleef Big Kitten LLC (http://www.bigkitten.com/) -- data acquisition on Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
