Ah, I think I see what I did wrong: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x080a22b2 in M_POLYAREA_intersect (e=0xbf8f4ec0, afst=0x8576d58, bfst=0x85efa60, add=1) at polygon1.c:848 848 if (a->contours->xmax >= b->contours->xmin && (gdb) Indeed, I found a polygon with two edges touching (although not overlapping) itself. After fixing this, the problem appears to be solved. Thanks for the tip with regard to gdb :-) Best regards, Richard Rasker ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

As for why it just started happen, good guesses would include a "bad" polygon in the design, perhaps something degenerate, eg. with coincident vertices, or not enough points. I can't recall what the trigger tended to be. Ben Jackson may remember more, as I recall it may have been him who fixed it.
