please run `strace -f -s 4096 straw >& straw-seg` and post that file here (bz2 it if 
need be) 

[Comment 2 Spundun Bhatt 2003-07-18 15:36:00 UTC]

Created attachment 14677 [details]
output of the strace

Thanx

[Comment 3 Spundun Bhatt 2003-07-18 15:36:32 UTC]

THanx... here it is

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2003-07-18 15:45:34 UTC]

only other thing that might be helpful is a gdb run with a backtrace ;) 

[Comment 5 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-07-19 08:24:04 UTC]

looks very likely an over-optimisation problem

try replacing -O3 with -O2 in your cflags and recompile egenix-mx-base. the new egenix ebuilds have that filtered.

[Comment 6 Spundun Bhatt 2003-07-19 10:08:55 UTC]

Alright!!
Recompiling with -O2 fixes it
Thanx a lot.

dup of some bug about egenix-mx-base then .. closing
