I had a look at your packages. Perhaps I will be able to build PowerPC-packages soon. I did not experience a crash on my SparcStation so far. But it's easy to crash the program using LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgdkxft.so.0 But not nightfall is to blame for that.
Perhaps this crashing beaviour became better between versions 1.30 and 1.32. The stuff about the cwd is quite bad. But this is something to change in the upstream sources I think. A patch like this should be communicated on [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTW, on this list nobody seems to know about your effort of packaging nightfall. Regards, Wolfi
