If you're just starting out, why not use 2.0.1 instead of 1.8 . A lot of the programming faults are cleaned up in there, it's a bit more stable. Take a look in comm.c line 422, that's where the problem is. Since you didn't post that, it's not easy to tell what it's at (most of us have highly edited code;)).
