I was about to file a bug report requesting the stabilization of app-arch/ppmd-9.1_p10 on AMD64 when I noticed that when running PPMd the standard way - i.e. PPMd e <file> - gives a segmentation fault. The same applies to app-arch/ppmd-9.1_p8. $ echo -e "hi\nbye" > hello $ PPMd e hello Fast PPMII compressor for textual data, variant I, Jun 27 2007 Segmentation fault (with FEATURES="nostrip" CXXFLAGS="-O1 -pipe -g -ggdb") $ gdb --args PPMd e hello GNU gdb 6.6 [...] (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/PPMd e hello Fast PPMII compressor for textual data, variant I, Jun 27 2007 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
