I tried to keep quiet ... Just couldn't do it. Signal 11 (Segfault) is nearly always a Program bug (Accessing memory that is not allocated to the current process, frequently address zero, usually related to a pointer being used that has not been set correctly). It is, nearly, impossible that it points to a hardware (memory, overclocking, etc.) problem. I'd recommend trying to produce a core file and accept Davids' help. That will, very likely, lead to a real diagnosis, and correction, of the problem. > > It might be worth the while to run another test. > > Thanks, > > Bart > _______________________________________________ > NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above > message, it is NULL AND VOID.
