PAUSE is suffering from a SEGV since I installed RC1. After I upgraded yesterday to snapshot 17165 I finally caught the following within gdb. I'd appreciate further instructions where to go from here.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x400d05ff in _IO_fflush (fp=0x89e4178) at iofflush.c:41 41 iofflush.c: No such file or directory.
