Does the efficient and correct operation of a program depend on whether the system is amd64 or i386? Most of my machines are i386 only and, to my knowledge, Debian has not abandoned this architecture. > Using a utiltiy like reportbug would have attached information about package > versions and architecture already in the first mail, you probably can consider > using such in future reports. > > > I could not reproduce the crash and therefore cannot be sure about following. I was probably incorrect in thinking I had tested the offending directive previously. I have now tested with Debian 9.3 on i386. The same thing happens. When I summon up the energy I'll see what happens on an am64 OS. [...] Thank you for your help and advice, Brian.
