Try it with different use flags and CFLAGS and see if you can isolate the problem. I can't get it to fail here in the way you've described.
Removed flags but, the problem persists. I ran civclient with strace. Here are the last few lines: gettimeofday({1142687566, 916967}, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 2, 0) = 1 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [32]) = 0 read(3, "\1\2.a\0\0\0\0\347\16\340\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\23\0\0\0`\363"..., 32) = 32 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 gettimeofday({1142687566, 917171}, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 2, 0) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 229376, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb6b22000 munmap(0xb6b22000, 229376) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 365817856, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xa0e7b000 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Is this still happening?
Alas, I cannot say. I switched to Debian before I could fully debug the problem.
ok
